Ok. I read that twice and still have no idea what you're asking.

Why should createaforum not be in the link? Where have you tried advertising it? What is your site if that link does not lead to it? When you say create a new webpage, can you expand on what you mean by that?

If you want a custom domain, you have to buy it or use a free alternative

.tk allows you to do that for free. Other ways to shorten your link will cost you money.

Do not go to other free domain sites like .co.nr because those have 2 dots and will mess with your login process.

If you follow the guide in the guide and tutorials section, you will have a free domain that is tied to your forum.

Other than that or paying for a domain, you have no other options.

Hi. I take it that you are on about people searching the search engine and your is not there? I thought you had to pay to have it hosted by a forum host? You cannot really expect a free forum and have it hosted too... ::) lol. Terry

hi terry no it is showing on the internet but when people click the link it doesnt go directly to my site you have to click on another link to get to my site but ive explained to people how to do that now anyway i think ill just pay for a domain name its the only way to get a lot of members after all nothings free in this life ;D
