I have created a Squarespace website and would like to add a forum. I am doing similar to what Squarespace did when they created this forum - and I am using Invision Community. I'd like to use my website's domain name on my forum to have it appear to be running on the same website (just like Squarespace did). 

Can you let me know the process I would have to do to complete that? Would the first step be to create a subdomain on my squarespace domain (like:  forum.mywebsite.com) and then submit a support ticket with Invision Community letting them know the name of my sub domain I'd like to use? Please let me know if this sounds accurate or any additional insight.

Thank you!

If you submit a support ticket to Invision, letting them know the subdomain you'd like to use (for example 'forum'), they'll usually email you back with two CNAME's that you can then add to your domain name DNS settings.
