Hello all, new member here.

I've got a question regarding web forwarding. My other half has bought a domain without hosting through Register1 ( http://www.jenniferboulton.co.uk ) She wants to forward to a site that she has paid to use as part of her work. The site she wants to link to is this:
http://www.newdesignersonline.co.uk/page.cfm/actio...
Though it doesn't seem to be working as planned, it seems to go to the right page then jump to the newdesignersonline home page.
Any thoughts? Is there something we're doing wrong or is it a problem with the target website?
The target link works ok if typed into the explorer bar and since we're less computer literate than most here I thought i'd ask!

Many thanks

Hi,

it's because the page you're forwarding to is also itself a rewritten / forwarded page.

I've edited the forwarding type used to counteract this (Advanced Options in your control panel) however it will result in the domain name in the browser adjusting to show the actual forwarded location instead.

The only way around this is to forward to a non forwarded / rewritten page.

Many thanks Jamie!

Not too worried about the forwarded address being seen. That will do nicely.

Thanks once again.
