Not a good idea. It'll be bad for your search engine rankings, plus a nightmare with cookies.

Why is it bad for search engine rankings and how is it a nightmare with cookies? I have 4 domains for my forums and I don't have neither of those problems ... he asked for help not your opinion ... Now you might take my questions a bit personal but all he asked for was help on how to do something .... Anyways ... add the following to your .htaccess file and in your cPanel put your domains as parked domains and you are set ... All you are doing here is redirecting your other domain to the forums and it has nothing to do with cookies at all and it "will not" affect your site ... Example, this is the direct link to my clan's forums: https://www.cagclan.com/community/forum.php This is the 2nd domain which is just redirected to the forums: www.clansrus.com ... Try it Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain\.com$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.yourdomain\.com$ RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/yourdomain\.com\/forum-path\/" [R=301,L] |

See, that isn't having multiple domains for the same forum though. That is using a redirect. You fcan actually setup a site/vbulletin to be accessible from multiple domains without redirecting, and that is generally bad mojo.

Ok ... I understand what you are saying... but he did ask for 2 domains for his forums .. I gave him one option he can use and again explain why now that is "bad mojo" ....
--------------- Added [DATE]1417030307[/DATE] at [TIME]1417030307[/TIME] --------------- My point here is that he asked for help not for your opinion Zachery .. why not just show him how to do it? |

You will end up with a mess of different stuff from different members on your forums. It would cause more problems that way.

I have had my website/forums with 4 different domains all pointing to my site and I have never had any problems ... so like I asked Zachary I will ask you ... explain why don't just give your opinion on things if you don't explain why it is so... |

That's true, I didn't think about that. But knowing how some people are they will complain about the re-direct "Why you do this?" "Why didn't warn us ahead of time before doing this?".

And again, a re-direct won't harm anything regarding search engine rankings or cookies at all ... And this "is" having multiple domains for a forum because 2 different domains get you to the forums .... |
