There is no way to change the URL, David, which means that the only option is to open a new forum, and let this one expire.
On .net you'll need to use another email, but you can use the same email on all other ForumUp domains, .com, .org etc.

It is possible to put a disable right clicking script on a forum, but it is not recommendable, as it disables all right clicking, and all copying and pasting, which usually is a vital part of posting.
I guess that you already know that disabling right clicking does not really prevent people from copying anything at all, be it text, images or the complete page. At best it works like a Beware of the Dog sign, with no dog around to back it up...
But if you still want to use it, here is a script:
Code:
<script language=JavaScript>
<!--
var message="TYPE YOUR MESSAGE HERE";
function click(z) {
if (document.all) {
if (event.button == 2) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
if (document.layers) {
if (z.which == 3) {
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}
if (document.layers) {
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
}
document.onmousedown=click;
// -->
</script>
Copy the script and paste it on notepad (.txt) without word wrap ("automatic line changes").
Add your message for the pop up -- for example "Copyrighted by Valleyverse" -- where it says TYPE YOUR MESSAGE HERE.
Copy the edited script and paste it into the Footer:
Admin Panel >> General Admin >> ForumUp >> HTML codes on top and bottom of all forum pages >> Code at the bottom of the forum, after all topics.
Be very careful to copy and paste the complete script. Double check that the closing tag </script> is there, before you click Edit allow HTML. A missing > can make a mess of your forum.
Now all right clicking and all copy and paste is disabled, all over the forum, but if you still want to copy and paste, all you need to do is this:
Press and hold the right mouse button. Hold it.
While you are holding it, the pop-up message pops-up.
Press enter.
The pop-up message disappears.
Now, let go of the right mouse button and voila, the right-button menu pops right up!!
Repeat for each step of the process.
A work around that in itself tells you how limited such a script is, when it comes to protecting contect.
---------------------------
There is no secure way to prevent people from copying the text and images on your webpages, forums included.
All disable right-click scripts can be bypassed by simply using the "save page as" feature on the browser. If you save it as html it can still not be copied, but save it as a .txt (notepad) file, and you can do anything you want with it.
I know of no "disable save page as" script, but it would be equally useless, because if you are determined to copy the text/images, all you need to do is find them in your browser cache -- termporary internet files -- and copy what you need from there.
Still, the right-click disable scripts are a simple and effective way of scaring off the less knowledgeable. As far as that goes it's excellent on ordinary webpages. But I would not recommend it on a forum, for the reason already given; it prevents you from all copying and pasting.

A much better option on a forum is to make the forums with the valuable stuff Private, accessable for registered members only, or perhaps even for a usergroup with trusted members only.
