    Of course you will need to move all your vB files and sub-directories. Then update the forum URL in the Admin CP and also the Members Area.

      Steve,

      A follow up question that I think is pretty much the same, but I'm beyond technically challenged so here it goes:

      I've currently got my forum at mydomain.com/myforum and want to switch it over to mydomain.com/forum.

      Would renaming the directory where VBulletin is installed from 'myforum' to 'forum' and then going into the Admin panel and changing the URL to 'forum' do the trick? Or am I missing something? Thanks!

        That's all you need to do for it to work. You should also update the URL to your forums in the Members Area.
