Hi Everyone,

I am looking to change my domain name to something more generic but I will be keeping the forum as is, meaning posts, forums, members etc etc.

Is there anyone who has dine this before and tell me of potential pitfalls or is it as easy as a redirect? I can only assume things like internal links etc might be a issue but hey life is full of issues, one more won't complicate things :D

Many Thanks

The actual change for vbulletin in general is very smooth, but any referenced links in your forum to other posts do not change, but really is not that big of deal IMO unless there is 1000's of posts like that.

Sorry I must've missed them but will search again. I found a lot where people wanted to move from one directory to another.

Regarding the post linking that I will try and fix with redirects..

Cheers
