    Hi,

    I want to move my VB3-forum from the /forum/ - dir to the root dir - would this cause problems when re-validating the coop ? (we have over 680 000 pages indexed by google , which would be redirected to the new location in the root folder - but will the coop still validate ?)
    Second question : we run also a shopping system in the root dir - is there a possibility to exclude this shop from the coop ?

    Sorry for my bad english and greetings from germany,
    Tobias

    Be aware that if you move your folder, you could well be starting from scratch with Google, which would have to reindex your content again.

    Is there really an overwhelming reason to move your forum to the root? Simply because you may find it more trouble than it's worth.

    I did that, not by choice, but because of a server issue.

    Big trouble.
