Some of you may have been aware of the magazine http://www.nowrugby.com, which acts as front door to Rugby Rebels. If you browse to www.rugbyrebels.com - you arrive at the same front door - similarly, if you browse to www.nowrugby.com/mb - you get to Rugby Rebels.
The reason for this is both the domains (the bit after the www) point to the same folder on the server which contains the files and database that make up the message board.
Now there is a setting on the message board, which determines which URL / Address has primacy - that is if you log in while browsing another one - say you were browsing http://www.nowrugby.com/mb/ - you would soon get logged out again. This is because the vBulletin software we use, cannot accept more than one domain - it's one of the crap features of the software.
Anyway, currently this setting says the main address / URL for RR is www.rugbyrebels.com/mb/ - but for a whole host of reasons I'm going to change this to www.nowrugby.com/mb/ from November 1st.
This means that to log in to the board from Nov 1st, you will need to go to http://www.nowrugby.com/mb/ - or http://www.nowrugby.com and click on the link on the left hand column.
This does NOT mean that the board name will change - it will remain as Rugby Rebels.
The URL www.rugbyrebels.com/mb/ will also allow you to reach the board - it's just that you'll have problems staying logged in with that URL.
Remember Nov 1st when everything changes, so it might be good practice to start browsing to http://www.nowrugby.com and clicking on the link straight away.
If you have any questions, post them below.
