How? I've recently had to swith to another domain name, how can i change all my forum addresses to the new domain?

Just edit the board URL in the vBulletin Options.

That's the problem... I've tried, and then simply moved the folder to a new desination, but when I try to open the forum on the new address, i immediately get a Cannto find server - The page cannot be displayed error

This means your DNS has not propergated yet, also you do need to move the database to the new server.

I have ordinary unix hosting with cPanel. I've added the new domain in cPanel, dns updated instantly, and all files of my new domain are in a folder of my main site. I've uploaded small index.php file to see, if it works on a new address, and everything was fine. Next thing I changed the address in settings, and moved the entire forums folder from /public_html/forums to /public_html/my_new_domain_name_folder/forums . However, when I try to open it, I still get the same error, as posted above
