Viewing Link to a sub domain

Link to a sub domain



User: Guest 10 years ago
I have a forum on my live site at the moment. But I want to put my newly created site there and have a link pointing back to the forum. This means that I have to move my forum into a sub domain.

My subdomain will be forum.thetruthaboutdiets.net

If I put this as the link in the 'link to external page" section will it work?? because it isn't a typical http://www.etc...

Thanks,
John

A sub domain will work fine if it is properly set up on the server.

One of the most common uses of a sub domain nowadays is for a mobile version of the website where you use ...

http://m.domain-name.com or http://mobile.domain-name.com

However, if you are publishing to a server other than the EW one, you don't have to use a sub domain since you can use a sub folder so that the URL is...

http://thetruthaboutdiets.net/forum/index.html

If you're using the EW self generating navigation you can have the link to the Forum included in it. I outlined the method in this topic...

You can see an example of it here...
