when i orginally set up my vbforum i had a few other forums listed but now don't so I want to shorten my URL from

http://bestdestinationwedding.com/f/wedding_forum/index

to

http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum

do you think this will be a problem?

do i need to do anything to notify vb?

this is what i got from vb.com

That sounds right. I would recommend doing this. It looks better to me.

brent, i tried to do this but when i tried to log in to the forum it gave me a blank white page...i dont know what i am doing wrong.

i left a post at vb.com but they are not very clear
Change forum URL? - vBulletin Community Forum

So you did the following:

- Uploaded your forum files to the http://www.domain.com/forum/ folder
- Changed all your settings to point to /forum in your vBulletin Options (like they stated)
- Did you upload the VBSEO files in binary?

i think i uploaded them in binary...actually i do not know? what does that mena exactly?

remember who you are speaking to

When you upload them you should check your FTP program to make sure that transfers are set to Binary.

What FTP program did you use? SmartFTP allows you to select how you want to transfer the files. ASCII or Binary.


Most FTP programs transfer .php files into ascii by default

not ASCII? in the instrux it says ASCII? or am i supposed to just do vbseo in binary? i am so confused. i don't even know where to find vbseo files.

i think i transferred them all in ASCII cuz thats what vb instrux told me to do
