Please use ASCII only, other characters á, á, ă, ä are not supported. -Actual Domain [http://z6.invisionfree.com/Ravenw00d/index.php?] if someone could help me out, or if you need any more info to actually help me out please comment below or private message me. your help would be very much appreciated.

Go into your control panel for your domain and change the DNS settings until you have done this. It has to be a CNAME, remember that. Once this is done, it can take 24/48 hours for the DNS list to be updated. You simply need to log into your admin control panel and go to Domain Manager. You will then need to go to Add Domain Name: Quote: Domain: Example: forums.example.com You do not need to add a separate www.forums.example.com record. Note "you do not need to add www". Simply add your domain into this and click submit. If it fails, you have either added the domain wrong, or you need to wait longer for the CNAME to point to the server. Hope this has helped.

It should be z6.invisionfree.com, nothing more. I am putting down http://z6.invisionfree.com/Ravenw00d/index.php?, but if you only need z6.invisionfree.com that seems better I will try it out Quote: You must point the domain at z6.invisionfree.com with a CNAME record.

Quote: The primary domain will be used for the links within your board. Remember this Admin CP URL as you can undo this change if there are any problems. You must choose the domain you entered from that drop-down menu and click "Set primary domain".
