    Yes, I have Cpanel and WHM. I want it to be like forums.digitalpoint.com instead of digitalpoint.com/forums/. I hope you know what I mean. Please teach me how to do it.

    I need it not only for forums, but blogs, gallery etc. So those will be blogs.url.com and gallery.url.com

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    just go to Subdomains in cPanel and create one called forum.
    it will automatically be linked to the folder "forum" that already exist.
