So if I understand correctly, you have a domain name, example yourdomaim.com, and you want to redirect from that domain to another one and need the Query String to follow the redirect?
IE: a client enters "www.yourdomain.com?showtopic=8" and you need to have them redirected to "www.anotherdomain.com?showtopic=8"? Is that correct? I await your reply. |

pretty much, i think.. like you go to the subdomain blahblah.domainname.com and it brings you to a forum, and when i click a topic on that forum (how i have it now, and i want to fix) it just... goes back to the long url which is.. blahblah.blahblah.blahbha.com/showtopic=8 but i just want it to be blahblah.domainname.com/showtopic=8 i think it has to do with the htaccess? but i think you have the general just of it.

are you not able to just transfer the forums over to this other server? That would be better. It would be easier to keep track of. Although I would guess the reason you can't do this is because it's on some "forum hosting website" that hosts forums only and you don't have access to the actual files or databases.
P.S. - Tramposch, nice avatar! I have one of those too

Which forum script is this pertaining to?
Most forum scripts will allow you to "point" to another domain by simply editing the configuration file and/or admin control panel. Depending on which forum script you wish to edit, the answer would differ. Please let us know which forum script you wish to change your directory/domain. |

Unfortunately he already confronted me when setting this up. He is using forums on another website instead of installing his own forums. He had a redirection going from his domain to that website, but he didn't want the url to change so I suggested using frames. Unfortunately doing so causes the URL to remain the same even when surfing in the frame. I still heavily suggest installing PHPbb or perhaps simple machines. If you wanted you could have php forward the variables from your domain to the frame, but clicking on links in the frame still wont update the url. Maybe next time you should listen to me Tramp...

Just a suggestion, since I don't know if it will work, but if you can score a database backup from the other Forum and install a Forum software on your account here, possibly there is a convertor to re-store the information from the existing Forum onto the new one?
