all i did when i moved mine was set up the sub domain in cpanel then in the setings for the forum set the start page etc as forum.domain etc.
Yeah I guess that makes sense. All links will still be fine right? If I link points to www.url.com/forum or forum.url.com its the same thing?
www.url.com/forum or forum.url.com its the same thing? dependant on how your host is setup. but search engines see it differently.......just leave it as is really. i was thinking of doing so, but it's not worth it if you're established.
I was going to need a lot of encouragement to switch it over... So now I guess I'll just forget about it. If its not going to make a difference I guess I'll just leave it alone.
it doesn't...it just looks different it could even harm you - duplicate content repercussions if you do it improperly
