A 2 forum question.

[korny30]

I have a forum up and running. What my goal is, is to have another full forum using the same database.

For example :

I have xxxxx.com/mainforum as my forum running now and I want to create another forum (the whole forum) at lets say xxxxx.com/mainforum/otherforum where this forum is a fresh forum just like if I were to first install the software. I read this somewhere on here but could not find it with the search. Can this be done and if so, how can I do it?

You can do that by using table prefixes.
Define a table prefix in your config.php file and install the forum as usual.
You won't have any posts/threads/users/anything on your new forum.

Also, be aware that you'll have to have a seperate license for the second forum.

I understand the license thing, but what I want is no posts/threads but I do wnat to keep the users. So that they don't have to relogin when they come to the other forum.

This requires modifying the code. We cannot officially support code modifications or forums running modified code, however can try searching or asking for help with this over at www.vbulletin.org.

Hey Steve, is it raining up in your area yet??

What would I look for Steve at vb.org. I have no idea what the use in the search?

[Steve Machol]

No rain yet. Had a little today but we are still in the middle of a streak of 115+ degree days that has lasted more than a week now.
