The easiest way would be to create a directory in the root of your domain called /forums/
you could also use .htaccess (if you have it enabled) to point any other directory to that URL.

Hmm, you would have to use external DNS to point to that site.
I would use afraid.org

Some questions:
- do you want to point yourdomainname.com to your website on 110mb com?
If yes, then register a domain at some domain registrar (search in Google) and following many tutorials that can be found on this forum point it here.
- do you want to still use a forum on that service 5forum.info ?
Check at 5forum if they allow you to assign own domain at their servers. Then somewhere on their site will be instructions how to point some domain (in example forum.yourdomain.com) to an account in there.
If they not allow you to point own domain in there - you'll end up with redirection only. Point the domain to 110mb, create folder "forum" and inside of it with index.php redirect to your 5forum address - it will be only redirection, the original address will be the same.
- or maybe you want to move your forum into 110mb server?
Check at 5forum if you can expoert database from there, inside of folder "forum" on your 110mb account install the same forum script that is installed there, import the database from there in here.
But as I can see that you have practically no content on your forum, yet, why not install some forum script in here, on your 110mb account?... Either upgrade with MySQL if some script is need it or choose some that will work with SQLite (no need to upgrade).
And if you point the domain name to 110mb account, then the forum will be accessible with yourdomain.com/forum

The easiest way would be to create a frame page for the forum, called index.html Put that page in a folder called /forum on your site. Therefore, when the visitor goes to yoursite.com/forum the index.html page is shown with the forum in the frame. <html>
<head>
<title>Greedy Crab forum</title>
</head>
<frameset cols="100%">
<frame src="http://greedycrabforums.5forum.info/forum.htm">
</frameset>
</html> |

Indeed... topics merged. @greedycrab: You need to 1) remember the questions you ask and 2) check back for solutions. How can you expect others to take your questions seriously when you don't even remember them yourself? |

Because you are in a frame. This is not a real address of your forum.
And when inside of a frame you're clicking on some link you're still in a frame.
Try to add target="_top" to your link.
<a href="url" target="_top">link</a>

Thanks for replying.. sorry, I'm a bit confused.. are you talking about the link on the forum, "GreedyCrab.com"?
If so..I tried using what you provided me, but the forum service wouldn't allow HTML in the field where it asks the 'redirection' url..
Just to make sure, that's the one you were talking about, right?
Thanks a lot

That's right. So maybe you consider this from my previous post: (...) as I can see that you have practically no content on your forum, yet, why not install some forum script in here, on your 110mb account?... Either upgrade with MySQL if some script is need it or choose some that will work with SQLite (no need to upgrade).
And (...) the forum will be accessible with yourdomain.com/forum
It's not that hard to install some forum script by yourself. And you'll get full access to everything, you'll be not restricted with free forum provider. phpBB v3 or SMF v2 will work with SQLite, no need to upgrade with MySQL. |

When I go to www.greedycrab.com/forum.php, and want to go back to the mainpage, the url STAYS at greedycrab.com/forum.php, it never changes...anyway to fix that? Insert the following Javascript into the <head> section of your home page... <script type="text/javascript">if (window != top) top.location.href = location.href;</script> This will "break" your home page out of any frame. |
