Murray,

That was pretty darned quick, was just going to reply that I accidentally posted in the wrong board and was going to move it to 'General'. In any event thanks for the reply, I'll certainly look that up and thanks for the warnings!

Changing a site like that will trash your rankings, and everyone's
bookmarks. The only way to do it would be to also add a server redirection
with a 301 header (permanently relocated) which will provide a seamless
redirection AND will notify the SE to adjust their indexing. On *nix this
is easy with .htaccess - on Windows it's a bit more difficult, but I have
done it with ISAPIReWrite (Google it).
