    2 forums 1 VB?

    Im going to start a site that sells VB skins. Is it possible to make a forum for support and one for demo?
    So its url/support and URL/demo

    This means I dont have to add mod to any new skins, or will I not need to?

    If you're looking to allow users to demo your skins, there is a skin selection menu on the lower left that can be enabled/disabled. You can maintain your support forum while this skin is active or inactive, and even force the support forum to use the default skin so there won't be any problems. Just make sure all your custom skins are supported by the forum, IE make sure all the templates are present in the new skins as well as the default ones.

    If you are asking whether you can run two entirely different forums, for support and demo, the answer is most likely no. In order to have two different installations (databases), you'll need two separate licenses, though I believe you can accomplish what you are trying to do with a single license. Hope this helped.

      If you talking about using the other board as a board just to display the skins you create as a demo skin board to the public. No, you can only do that if you owned two licences.
