I already have my domain at
www.gamingcentral.trap17.com
Yes, i know i have forums already there. But i want to switch over to invisionfree cause i am having some problems with the software.
But, when i go to change the domain from
http://z4.invisionfree.com/gamincentral/index.php?act=idx
to
www.gamingcentral.trap17.com
i get this error message
The domain you have entered does not appear to point to this server at this time. The domain should point to z4.invisionfree.com with a CNAME record.
If anybody knows why this is happening please let me know.
Thanks

the gamingcentral.trap17.com you have is just a subdomain, not a domain. you can't transfer trap17.com, a top-level domain, to invisionfree either. if invisionfree is allowing domains to be pointed to your forums there, you need to purchase or own a top-level domain of your own; a domain which is under your control so you can be free to direct it to any server/host like theirs.

if you wanted instead to make gamingcentral.trap17.com to point to your invisionfree forums, you may just have to use a meta-refresh like the one below inserted in between your head tags:


or you can use frames:


the first one is a redirect, with your invisionfree link showing in the browser. the second one will retain your gamingcentral.trap17.com URL in the browser, but will frame your invisionfree pages. and i may just have to remind you that you can do this if you are sure of dropping the activity in your existing gamingcentral.trap17 forums, since both methods will end up on your invisionfree forums instead.
