    Use URL forwarding instead of actual domain name?

    I would like to create shortcut to my forum using URL forwarding

    eg. my forum is located at http://www.mydomain.com

    Using web redirection from DynDNS , I will create something like http://myforums.webhop.net which will point to http://www.mydomain.com

    What should i do such that all the links appear in the forum will use the new URL that i created?

    eg. I want to see..



    instead of



    If URL forwarding can't work, what other method can i use?

    what I want is to use the sub-domain from dyndns to point to my domain without showing its name.

    thanks

    This is where you change [URL]

    Admin Control Panel >> vBulletin Options >> vBulletin Options >> Site URL and Contact Details.
    Change the URL to the forum there.

      thanks, but I have tried and it doesn't work

      After I changed the site URL and contact details, it still showing mydomain instead of the webhop URL.

      I have tried to logout and clear cache too.
