  I purchased a domain name from GoDaddy through Smugmug. I've chosen to forward to my page, but it is still taking me to the main smugmug page. I feel horribly ignorant. Anybody know what this might be?
  
  Also, the e-mail I got with the name isn't forwarding to my work e-mail like I had asked it to.
  
  Did I mention I am very new here and if I am repeating an over-asked question, I apologize.

  Cynthiann - Look at this thread and see if it helps with setting the domain forwarding up. Are you a Pro customer?

  On the email issue, I would speak with GoDaddy directly, as they will be best to help you.
  
  If you have further questions, I'd be happy to help if I can. I'm not an employee, just a happy customer of SmugMug.
  
  Mike.

  Forwarding won't work well.
  
  Do the following:
  
  Disable Forwarding
  
  Go into "Total DNS Control and MX Records" and edit the following:
  
  A Record
  
  Points to: 208.79.45.23
  
  CName
  Host: www
  Points to: domains.smugmug.com
  
  It may or may not work immediately as it can take a few hours for the changes to "take".
