    Forum has been up for 2 weeks at temporary location, How do I switch it to go live?

    I have a forum up and running at http://allnursesunite.com/forum/index.php no problems. I am ready to make it live/public at the domanin I have. The address is: www.allnursesunite.com. How do I switch it over? My webhost as given me an answer on their end. What do I need to do with vBulletin?

    Please answer simply, I'm not real savvy with computer language. Thank YOU!

    My site is http://www.ravensrealm.net/forums/index.php and it is live. If you mean that you wish people to hit your forums by typing http://allnursesunite.com then you could consider using a portal such as http://www.vbadvanced.com. I use it and it is very nice, best of all its free.

      Yes that's what I mean.

      If I switch the info in my folder with my webhost to the public folder would this also accompolish what I need?

        You could move the contents of the forums folder to the root of your server and then you would have to change the forums location in the config.php file as well.
