Moving my Forums

[browie]

Alright. I'm a little new to this. I started creating my forums and then boom i had an idea for them. We took off, and now we're really far with changing all of these things. Now that we're taking off with this the URL is kind of dumb. How can i move my forums from a folder on my site to my normal .com or to a sub-domain, without having to start from the beginning?

Are you moving servers or just getting a domain?

Ok, I'll be more clear with an example.

Right now i have my forums in www.url.com/stupid (as in stupid folder name)

I'd like my forums in www.url.com or forums.url.com

I know redirecting is an option and that's fine but i was wondering if i could just move it all to one of those 2 listed without having it be a big hastle. Like recoding everything.

Why not just move them and see if it works all good if not move them back also edit your cmp_index.php to your new forums location and rename the forums index.php to forums to avoid clashing all i can say really :)

on this subject, I would like to stay on the current server ( my own and defdicated IIS box. ) but have a new domain instead of the current sub domain. I use VB3.5.4and photopost what should i consider in the move programming wise? What settings would i need to change ?
