Registration validation link in email with forwarded sites

i bought [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] and i didnt purchase a separate webspace with it, im using my other website to store the entire d3 website, so i parked the domain and forwarded [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] requests to [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] . I've got ravennuke set up as the CMS, and the forums are set up great but when users register they have to activate their account. This isn't the problem. The problem is that when they click the link, it's trying to take them to [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] ... erblahblah which cannot happen since the link is actually [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] .. get me? So instead of the user being able to register themselves, it kicks them back to the main page which is [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] How do I change this so the registration completes?

In your site preferences what is your "Site URL" set to? It should be [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] .

It isn't set that way, I know for sure. Won't this also change the phpbb name as well?

So, just an update. I set it to diablo3.electricimpulse.net, and deleted the old user account, and had them re-register. It's still sending them an activation link with [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] as the base URL. I don't know if there's a cache purge for phpbb 2.x versions... or if that would even help.

Forwarded domains generally don't work well, esp with the cookies. You are better off getting your domain's nameserver to point directly to the host

the problem was fixed by going to the original ravennuke configuration page, and changing the website host from d3-nation.com to the original base address. In this case it was [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] ,not the parked domain.

incorrect
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] Correct Dont add comma otherwise when I click on the link I get a blank page.

It is working good. Edit your post please Wink
