Can you show me the link to your 'old' forum? If the forum is currently an '.virtualforums' it wont be possible to change it back once it has changed to a 'vforums'.

pmwww | | Re: Change forum URL (2nd Jan 10 at 7:44pm UTC) | | The option is given at the registration process, while for previously registered forums it is an option within the SEO settings.
Ross may be able to change these for you from his end, i will enquire! | |

pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Re: Change forum URL (2nd Jan 10 at 11:42pm UTC) | | Hi,
The ability to change the forums URL is a "change once" option. Older forums have been given the opportunity to change to one of the new domains via the "SEO Settings" page within the admin panel. Newer forums are presented with the choice during the registration process.
I am able to override this for you, I just need to know the forums current URL and which URL you would like it to use.
