You've posted this in our "ZetaBoards" support section, but your board is "InvisionFree". I've moved it to the appropriate section. :)

Hi there.

Can you take a look in your domain's control panel, and see if you can find a page allowing you to add or edit CNAME or A-records? When you find this page (You might need to contact your domain host if you can't find it), take a screenshot of it, and paste it in here. :)

No problem.

In the Add an CNAME Record section, enter @ in the "Name" box, and z3.invisionfree.com in the CNAME box. Try waiting a little while, and adding the domain into your Domain Manager. :)

when I have tried to do that its come up saying:

CNAME Name
•That is not a valid zone name.
A Address
•Address must be a fully-qualified domain name
its now come up with this..

www.streetstyled.co.uk.streetstyled.co.uk. CNAME z3.invisionfree.com

Remove www.streetstyled.co.uk. from the start of the Name. That should work - @ doesn't seem to work in all cases.
