Is it possible to have 2 separate web wiz forums on same web? Every forum has its own location, own files, own database - content, users and all has to be separated. But when I do this things get mixed up between them (same front logo is "shared" between forums, I think users also, etc.) Is there solution to this?

TIA

Assuming you use the Access version, and you want them to stay completely seperate make sure that both forums are in their own IIS application.

It sounds like a problem with application variables, change it for one forum will change the application variables for the other forum on the site.

Have a look at the instructions for setting up the forum on free hosting accounts, and follow instruction 4 in the list, also you will need to disable the active users list.

I have exactly the same problem, as you say it look like its common application variables, I had exprimenented with dynamic dns domain names (since it seemed to be cookie related) to no avail, but now I see others have the same issue

I've looked at the "installation on free hosts (brinkster)" documents, but couldn't see anything relavent in instruction 4. ( or am I looking in the wrong place)

Could you clarify please

TIA

You want to read the file http://www.webwiz.net/web_wiz_forums/docs_free_host_install.asp?mode=forum" target="_top - Installing Web Wiz Forums on Free Hosting Accounts , not the one for Brinkster and edit the common.asp file to turn off the use of application variables.
