What is your domain? How are you setting up the forwarding?

my domain is http://www.the360place.com

and in the fowarding menu, it just asks for the site that i want to forward my domain to, and so i put it in. and the redirect type is 302 Moved Temporarily, since the actual site is still being setup.

When you say 'forward' you are trying to point it to another domain or where are you trying to point it?

I see you are trying to forward the360place.com to something.forumcircle.com correct?

Setup your forward at Godaddy to http://yourforumname.forumcircle.com and select 301 Moved Permanently

if i move permanently, will i still be able to change it to my actual site in the near future?

It looks like you just have it pointing to the wrong url, make sure your are using http://.forumcircle.com

Yes, when you switch to your own hosting you will just turn off forwarding and point your nameservers to your new hosts servers.. Also with a free host make sure you get good backups of your mySQL and database in case they crash and vanish overnight which does happen to free hosts often.
