Hi, I hope you'll be able to shed some light on this...
I'm on a hosting package with 1&1, and host various websites for myself and friends, and a number of WW forums.
However I've noticed strange things happening, where it looks like one forum is picking up the logo / logo link from another forum. Is there anyway to stop this happening, as I love the WW forum etc, but don't want to limit myself and friends to only one instance of it.
Thanks in advance!

there are a few ways round this .. are the forums in the same domain ? if so it might be best/ one option is to move them each into there own sub doimain. or you can turn off application veriables from within the common.asp file this is because the sites are in the same application pool. |

Is this the place;
'Set if application variables are used for forum configuration
'This will make your forum run faster as there are less hits on the database, but if you are using free web hosting or 'are on a server where you share your application oject with others then you will need to set this to false blnUseApplicationVariables = true Would setting that to false, have a big impact on bandwidth usage etc?
Just so I can understand it a little better, when it's set on true, where is it taking the configuration information from?
Thanks for your swift response!

| yes that is the section.. it just means that the configuratinon detaiks will come from the database everytime instread of from the applcation veriables. |

You can always set each forum in its own "application" in IIS and it will stop the forums from sharing eachothers configuration.

I doubt 1&1 would do that, there support sucks at the best of times.

Tell me about it
 Thanks for the suggestion MadDog, think I'll just change the common.asp file, as I tend to install / remove forums etc quite a lot...unless it has a big effect on bandwidth?

iom not sure on the ammount difference of the bandwidth. but it will be higher .. also the application veriables you are turning off are also a performance feature to stop another call to the database. you maybe able to use the application veriables in one of the forums, i would recommend on the most used site. |

The bandwidth shouldn't increase by using application variables, but
extra database calls will be required thus performance will drop, but
only very slightly. You will also loose the active users feature, which will need to be disabled on all forums. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
