I have the free version of Web Wiz on two separate sites, and something is causing me (and the forums) great confusion.

When I log into the forum admin at forum.website1.com and change settings it updates fine, but also changes settings in forum.website2.com.

This also happens when I login to forum.website2.com, this updates both forums.

The most confusing part is that the values in the database are different, and the correct values are showing in the admin interfaces.

Do you have any idea why this might be happening?

Looks like your web host is not actually giving you two separate sites as both sites will be sharing the same process and thus the same application settings for the forums.

What you will need to do is login to the admin area and in the forum configuration page set one of the forums to use a different application variable prefix so that the forums are not sharing the same application settings.

I can't seem to find that in the Configuration?

All I can see is the Cookie prefix which I have already changed.

Sorry my mistake you need to edit in notepad the file includes/setup_options_inc.asp and change the part in red of the line below:-


Const strAppPrefix = "WWF10"
