Hi there.

because of the way domains work, you won't be able to use www.remy-thorne.com/forums/. Instead, you could use forums.remy-thorne.com, for example.

If this is what you'd like, can you login to your domain's control panel, and look for any sections which let you add or edit "CNAME" or "A-records". If you find these pages, take a screenshot and paste it in here. :)

What domain would you like to use on your forums?

forums.remy-throne.com, for example?

Ok. In that case, in the section labeled Add New Entries Below This Line (At the bottom), add a new record which has forums. in the first box, and is set to "CNAME" in the drop-down box. You should be able to leave the other fields as they are.

Ok, let us know how it goes. Once they've done tha it might take up to 24 hours before you'll be able to add your domain to your ZB Admin Cp. :)

They did it :D, is it supposed to redirect?

No, although from what I can tell, the domain is actually pointing to our servers correctly with the CNAME record.

As such, you should now be able to add it into your ZetaBoards Admin CP's Domain Manager. :)

If the domain continues to redirect, ask them to remove any redirection they've setup on their end. You won't need it now.
