ok people right now im using a domain that i regsiered from dyndns

but i want to NOW use 1 registar 1 cause the 1 used is long and 1 i have paid for is less long and plus its more a friendly domain

so where do i need to go and change it and plus will it affect anything that i did up to now including mods when changing the domain name ?

sweet something i can help with...

first off as far as I know it shouldn't conflict with your mods. secondly you'll need to change your cookie settings. I think that is about it. there's even two nifty plugins that help if you still wanna use your old domain so your users can still access even if they don't know your new domain.here they are....

Autoset BBurl
Autoset Cookies Path

I hope I helped Big Grin

as i said as far as i know those are the only things needing changing. so im pretty sure your set.
Yeah once you've changed the board URL and cookie settings to fit with the new URL you'll be fine.
