At the Squarespace.com website I manage my domain babytiktok.com and select domain forwarding option which leads me to https://goldfish-goose-wm5f.squarespace.com/config/domains/managed/babytiktok.com/domain-forwarding.
At this page there is an adD rule menu button which I click on AND UP comes a fillable popup with the title "Add or edit a rule to forward existing subdomains to a different site". At this point no matter what I do I have not been successful in forwarding my domain

Got it! Thank you for providing those details. It seems like you're encountering difficulties while setting up the domain forwarding within the Squarespace interface. Let's break down the steps to help you forward your domain "babytiktok.com" to the specified URL.
Here's a step-by-step guide to set up domain forwarding in Squarespace:
Log in to your Squarespace account:
Go to Squarespace.com and log in using your credentials.
Access Domain Settings:
Once logged in, locate and click on the "Settings" option in the main menu. From the dropdown menu, select "Domains."
Select Your Domain:
In the Domains panel, find and click on the domain name "babytiktok.com."
Navigate to Domain Forwarding:
Within the domain settings, look for an option related to "Forwarding" or "Domain Forwarding."
Add Forwarding Rule:
When you find the domain forwarding section, there should be an option to add or edit a rule for forwarding. Click on that.
Fill in Forwarding Information:
In the popup or form that appears, you'll be prompted to enter the destination URL. Enter the complete URL "https://sites.google.com/view/screenshotjokes/lennys-web-pages/mp3truth-com/internetarchivemp3-com/babytiktok-com".
Select Permanent (301) Redirect:
Ensure that you're selecting the option for a permanent (301) redirect. This is important for search engines and browsers to recognize the forwarding as a permanent change.
Save Changes:
After entering the destination URL and selecting the redirect type, save your changes or apply the forwarding rule.
Confirm Forwarding:
After saving, check to ensure the settings have been applied correctly. Sometimes changes might take a little time to propagate.
If you encounter any issues or specific error messages while following these steps, please let me know the exact error message or where you're facing difficulties. This way, I can provide more targeted assistance to help you successfully forward your domain.

I see, encountering an error message can be frustrating. Let's troubleshoot this issue with a few steps to potentially resolve the problem:
Clear Cache and Cookies: Sometimes, browser cache or cookies can cause issues with saving settings. Clear your browser's cache and cookies, then log back into your Squarespace account and try setting up the domain forwarding again.
Use a Different Browser or Device: Try accessing the Squarespace domain settings using a different browser or device. This can help rule out any browser-specific issues.
Check for Squarespace Service Status: Sometimes, platform-wide issues might prevent specific functionalities. Check Squarespace's status page or their support channels to see if there are any known issues with domain forwarding at the moment.
Contact Squarespace Support: If the issue persists, it might be specific to your account or configuration. Contact Squarespace's support directly. They can provide account-specific troubleshooting and might also identify if there's an issue on their end preventing the changes from being saved.
Recheck Destination URL: Ensure that the destination URL you're entering is valid and correctly formatted. Sometimes, small typos or incorrect URLs can prevent the forwarding rule from being saved.
Temporary Workaround: As a temporary solution, if Squarespace's interface isn't allowing you to set up the forwarding, consider using a URL redirect service or reaching out to your domain registrar to see if they offer forwarding options. Some domain registrars provide simple redirect services that you can use until the issue with Squarespace is resolved.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, reaching out directly to Squarespace's support team will likely be the most effective way to address this problem, as it might require deeper investigation or could be related to a technical issue on their end.
