Hi there, I wanted to see if there was any problems with installing the Web Wiz 8.x Forum multiple times on one web site? I had done this in the past with a previous version and had to tinker with the code that generated a cookie for the forum. Otherwise, the forum topics from my first visited forum would show up in every other forum visited after that. Many thanks!

I've made this process even simpler in version 8.

Edit the file 'includes/setup_options_inc.asp' with not pad and change the cookie prefix and application variable prefix to something different for each forum:-

'Set up the forum cookie name
'(This is useful if you run multiple copies of Web Wiz Forums on the same site so that cookies don't interfer with each other)
Const strCookieName = "WWF"

'Set up application variables prefix
'This can be useful if you are running mutiple installations of Web Wiz Forums on the same site or if you are using free web where you share your application object with others
Const strAppPrefix = "WWF"

This will mean that unlike previous versions you can use the full power and features of Web Wiz Forums in all forums installed on that server.

Yes it would work fine for that.
