Help With Setting up Domain

Hi,

Recently have made a website and want to have some forums also but it would be very handy to have just forums. infront of the URL

The website is, http://www.langleyhornetsfc.co.uk/ and i want the forums to be http://www.forums.langleyhornetsfc.co.uk/

First of all this is possible right?

Because each time I try putting that address in it says
Code:
 
Error: The domain you have entered (forums.langleyhornetsfc.co.uk) does not appear to point to this server. The domain should point to s1.zetaboards.com with a CNAME record.
Error Code: 50016:81755


Help please :P

It is possible.

Have you set up your forums.langleyhornetsfc.co.uk domain to point to ZetaBoards with a CNAME? Your CNAME will be in the format s1.zetaboards.com, changing dependent on what server your forum is on.

Do you have a control panel provided with your domain's registrar for the controlling of settings to do with your domain?

Have you created your forums subdomain?

There is a control admin area on the domain but nothing to do with editing setting like this only ones for whats on the site.

I dont know what you mean by forums subdomain :(

no worries!

By forum subdomain I meant this (forums.langleyhornetsfc.co.uk)

Could you perhaps take a screenshot of the view inside your CP?

Thanks

I haven't set anything to do with (forums.langleyhornetsfc.co.uk)

And this is according to the person who set it up the highest level of admin

How are you currently pointing your domain to your website? Where did you purchase your domain?

Dear Ben,

Thank you for your query. Yes, we will be able to create a DNS record for your forum. You will need to send an email to us with the details, once you have registered the domain with Club Website.

Yours in football,
The Club Website Team


So Can someone tell me exactly what they need to do so I can relay it to them?
And also so I can get it up and running?

Thanks
Ben
