i have tried to set up two web wiz forums on the same site - one for my employees and second for the visitors of the site.
one is located on /forum/
and second on /employees/
I put 2 forums in order to make it more secure - i don't want to put
hidden forums in one main web wiz forum - i want actually 2 different
DBs.
as it seems, it is impossible to make it works - people from one forum
sees people from the second forum as "logged in". the settings of the
forums are mixed (i allowed private messages in one forum but not in
the second one - and people that first visit in the public forum and
then in the second one - could send PM altough the forum didn't allow
it).
and so on...
bottom line - is there anything to do or i should use other forum if i want 2 forums in my site?
thanks

This isn't a bug but happens because web wiz forums uses application variables for performance and other features.
The simplest way to resolve this is to have each forum run in it's own
application pool, usualy you can do this by placing one of the forums
in a sub domain of it's own (if your host allows).
The other option is to modify the forums by doing the following:-
- Turn off the active users feature from the admin areas of both forums
- Edit the 2 files called common.asp using notepad and do the following:-
- Disable the use of application variables, blnUseApplicationVariables = false
- Change the name of the cookies used to something different for each forum, Const strCookieName = "WWF"
Once you have made these changes you should be able to run 2 forums on the same site.
