    Changed site URL – Forums Down

    Can anybody help me out? I submitted a support ticket but, apparently the support team is busy with other customers.

    Here’s the scoop: I changed my site url. Then, I eventually figured out that I had to get a new license number. That’s done and my license number is green in the vbseocp.

    I haven’t done anything else. The problem is: I’m still getting a 404 No Found whenever I click on any forum on the site.

    My question is: What do I need to do to regain access to my forums/threads?

    This is urgent because, before I realized that changing the site url would cause problems I started advertising it on numerous Social Websites. However, because of the 404 No Found problems, I’ve had to turn the forums off.

    If any body knows what I need to do, I would really appreciate your input.

    Thanks.
    Paul

    Just added the following rewrite
    Code:
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule testpage\.html http://www.google.com [R]
    to the top of my .htaccess file and did the Google as suggested. It's working but, I'm still getting 404 on all forums.

    Do I need to rebuild my Forum/Thread info from vBcp?
