    Please bring back "forums.x10hosting.com" as the canonical name.

    When the vBulletin search fails me, I often used to turn to Google, performing a site search on "forums.x10hosting.com". Since that domain now redirects to "x10hosting.com/forums", using Google is still possible but is much more verbose and seems to be less successful. Could we have the old "forums" domain back?

    Why not keep both registered and available?

    Please, please, please put the X10 Hosting logo back at the top of the Forum pages. VBulletin is the supplier, not the site.
    Best regards Frankfriend

    Logo, credits and other things will be back when we switch to a custom theme again. But there's a bit of work needed to enable all custom things into the theme.

    As for the address, I believe that it was necessary to change to be able to incorporate the new account panel fully. I might be wrong on that though, but I vaguely recall Corey mentioning that a while back.

    Some days ago I've seen one new theme here. Not set as default but it was there to choose.

    I prefer the http://x10hosting.com/forums

    Any way for now the forums.x10hosting.com is redirecting to current one.

    I prefer the old one. I am a big fan of subdomains and CNAMEs, etc. However, if the move is to bring a clearer, simpler and easier experience, I will welcome it arms open. As for the default vBulletin theme, it's here until we get our new theme, modify it and make all our custom systems work with it. As for the credit, it's just disabled, not gone.

    Re: Please bring back "forums.x10hosting.com" as the canonical name.

    The way the address is right now is perfectly fine. forums.x10hosting.com still redirects to the same place if you visit it. Google will have to play catch-up, but it will update very soon. If you're using the site:siteaddress here function of Google, just punch in site:x10hosting.com and you should still get the same results, maybe some other useful ones from hosted websites

    Now as for the theme, a new one will be installed hopefully soon. The logo will return too. For now, we're stuck with what we have. The smileys just got fixed completely.

    My signature likes cookies! Do you? :D
