    I bought a domain name called "www.mechpoint.com" on Name.com but how do I make it redirect the link that I want it to go to? I made free forum on forumotion, so how do I make "www.mechpoint.com" redirect to "www.mechscape.darkbb.com?"

    I can't find how to configure it...

    Plz thelp.

    Well, you have to go to the place you registered your domain and configure it to point to that hosting. Congratulations on finding a free forum. :)
