Let me explain this

I have set up two forums on the same domain in 2 different folders.

The problem is that first forum aquires settings of the second forum when they are updated i.e. if i set up forum configuration for the second forum the first one will catch them somehow, and vise versa.

So is there a way to keep the setting per forum separate so that forum users get the appropriate messages from appropriate forum

This is covered in a number of posts from people who have had the same issue.

The forum uses application level variables to make it perform faster.

This means that if you install two forums on the same domain you need to edit the common.asp file and turn off the use of application variables.

Change the following variable:-

blnUseApplicationVariables = true

To false:-

blnUseApplicationVariables = false

-boRg-,

are you able to use a cookie identifier that is added onto the application verables (ones from the database the configurations).

and add a blnactiveusers veriable to turn them off only..

so that the forums configuration is still done by application veriables.

edit:
i have been looking into this and the configuration veriables can have the addones for example the following application("Forum_Email_address" & strCookievalue &"")

i hjave tried this and it works.

of course you can't do this in an array as its numbers only

One more Question:

Do I need to change the value in one of the forum or both

Thanks

you can change it in just one if you want to as it will only then get the details for the one forum.
