Are you doing this in Virtual Directories; ie:

http://www.mysite.com/forum1 & http://www.mysite.com/forum2

or seperate sites; ie:

http://forum1.mysite.com & http://forum2.mysite.com

huh?

i dont really see the point in this..

this is as simple as windows explorer!

Just create one folder in your root directory for each forum and copy the forum into each folder!!

was that hard to understand? then the url will be yoursite/forum1,2,3,4,5 etc

 

btw, are you the same magic as the magic @ invisionportal?

have you found a solution to your color problem?

but if he has the database in a private folder below the root and did not change both common.asp files it will affect the other. Make sure that the one in the admin folder is changed also. if the database is in it's respective folder for the forum one change will not affect the other.

Hey all,

First and foremost, I am extremely appreciative of your help. I'm the kinda guys that likes to say thanks alot, when people go above and beyond.

Problem solved. I simply uploaded a fresh copy of the forum as opposed to simply copying the old one to the directory.

Had to call my ISP to set permissions to the folder as Cute FTP wouldn't do it.

Many thanks again...! Hope this thread helps others in the future.

Jim
