Domain Name with Register.com; can't figure it out!

So I've run into a bit of a problem.

I've finally gotten a domain name for the information site for a role-play that I own - and now I want to have it apply to my forums as well. I know it's possible, however I'm not exactly sure how. I use Register.com for my domain name. I've done a lot of searching about for info on Register.com and Invisionfree, and haven't come up with anything.

To get forums.domain-name.com, what would I have to do? Has anybody else used register.com for their IF forum? Is it possible? If so, how? Please help, and thank you!

You'll have to add things like: z13.invisionfree.com their end, then the IP for the server you're on and your forum URL. Server IP's can be found here.

It may take several hours before the domain points towards your forum once it's set up..

I tried adding z13.invisionfree.com to a nameserver, but it told me it wasn't a valid address.

Quantum-locked when observed.

Create a CNAME record for your domain that points to z13.invisionfree.com.
