I have 2 forums on my website using webwiz. When I introduced the second site that sites forum name was reflected on the original forum website. Can someone tell me how to keep the forum configurations unique, even though both are running on the same website? Thanks!

please do a search,

this has been covered many many times,

you need ot turn off application veribles from the common.asp files for one of the forums or move it into a sub domain.

Thanks! I did perform a search twice (changing my criteria the second time) and found something after I sent my post but could not retrieve the post as it is reviewed. Also, if there was some documentation/FAQ with the app less people would pose similar question. Thanks again!

I am in the process of heavily modding my version of webwiz forums, so I can control this sort of thing a lot easier. I WANT to be able to overlap certain things, and not others. So for example, I am getting rid of the table/stored procedure prefixes and using tables names directly in the SQL. I have put these all in a configuration file, so I can control which forums point to which tables.

I've also been removing a lot of the embedded SQL and replacing it with stored procedures where-ever possible.

My 2 cents.
