Hi,

From your cpanel you can redirect your old URL link to new URL. This will create problems for your admin login, But this can be fixed by changing the cookie path settings in your website admin panel and changes to one file in your file manager directory which I don't remember now. You can find these settings in search here.

I'm actually late for office now. Will come back and give you details clearly. I'm a newbie too , it will be better to get feedback from more experienced users.
You'd have to edit inc/functions.php :: get_forum_link() to return '' for that particular forum ID.

And then have a .htaccess rule that rewrites '' (^$) to forumdisplay.php?fid=ID
Dear Killuminati,

Please read the following link , the steps are simple and very well explained here http://docs.mybb.com/Help-Cannot_login.html

But first you must create the subdomain from your cpanel , it is free of cost.
