Hi, I want to be certain I do this right as this can go VERY bad!

I am changing the site URL as the content has changed some.

I got a new domain today, so before I point it at my site, I have to change the URL in Vb admin panel under site URL, then is this it?

Do I have to edit the config file at all?

Thanks for the input guys, much appreciated!

Yes, that should do it :) However, if you have entered a value for FULL PATH TO FORUMS DIRECTORY in your config.php file, you may have to change that as well.

// ******** FULL PATH TO FORUMS DIRECTORY ******
// On a few systems it may be necessary to input the full path to your forums directory
// for vBulletin to function normally. You can ignore this setting unless vBulletin
// tells you to fill this in. Do not include a trailing slash!
// Example Unix:
// $config['Misc']['forumpath'] = '/home/users/public_html/forums';
// Example Win32:
// $config['Misc']['forumpath'] = 'c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\vb3';
$config['Misc']['forumpath'] = '';
