Member Posts: 5 Group: Members Member #186,394 Joined: October 25, 2009 My Board URL z6.invisionfree.com/vmkmasterminds	I recently changed my forum name from the original z6.invisionfree.com/vmkmasterminds to my own domain that has its CNAME pointed to z6.invisionfree.com I added the new domain to the ACP domain manager and when you go to the new one (www.mouseterminds.com) it doesn't keep you logged in for each visit, and when you do log in, it simply redirects you to the original z6 address. Can anybody help?

Member Posts: 5 Group: Members Member #186,394 Joined: October 25, 2009 My Board URL z6.invisionfree.com/vmkmasterminds	I made those changes but the same thing is happening as before.. it's not that I can't log in, it's that it seems the cookies won't save my log-in for each visit. Also, the url becomes this when you click anything: "http://z6.invisionfree.com/VMKMasterMinds/index.php?http://www.mouseterminds.com/". If I set mouseterminds.com as my primary domain in the ACP, it can't find the links at all and I get a not found page. What do I do! Also after making the changes you suggested, If I type http://mouseterminds.com it works (without saving my log-in cookies and still directing to z6 on clicking a link) but it won't work now if I type www.masterminds.com. Isn't that what the URL redirect was for? Any help is hugely appreciated, I'm stumped!! Edited by scorsese, Oct 26 2009, 01:02 PM.

CNAME` And, as always, don't forget the trailing period. www is just a special subdomain that most people associate with websites. It's really very archaic
