When I clicked on 'Purchase Ad Free Credits' at the bottom of my forum, it took me to the ad-free part, but automatically put the url boeing114.vforums.co.uk, when it is supposed to be boeing114.virtualforums.co.uk

You may want to fix that...

Hi,

The .virtualforums.co.uk extension can no longer be your forums primary URL (it just acts as a redirect). We offer 3 (shorter) extensions which can be used: vforums.co.uk (the default), vforums.us and free-forums.eu
As you will see when you type in boeing114.virtualforums.co.uk to your address bar, you get redirected to boeing114.vforums.co.uk

Oh. But this is still annoying and it should get fixed.

As I say, there is nothing to fix. The ad-free system displays what the forum system considers your primary domain. No forums (other than this support forum) have used virtualforums.co.uk as their primary domain for many months - we began phasing it out over a year ago. The primary domain/URL is the one shown in the address bar.

But it gave me an invalid forum url. So I'd have to change that every time?

Yeah he's right it does say invalid for vforums.co.uk

It's a shame that's not what the bug report says. And a tiny bit if testing shows that using vforums.co.uk or virtualforums.co.uk in that scenario makes no difference - both return the same error - an error being thrown because of the http:// prefix. I have added a bit of code which will strip http:// from the forum URL.
