Same users on several boards

[DreyerMedia]

Hi there,

I currently run a big forum in my niche. I'm now in the progress of starting up a new forum, but there is one little feature that would be pretty cool to have before I start it.

Is there a way, to use just one user-database on two boards (or even more boards would be even greater, since Im planing to run a little network of boards)?

yes, you can use the same user DB on several forums, but you'll need to buy a license for each URL.

Yeah, that's not really a problem.

My consern is how do I do it, and are there any major complications I should be aware of? Like postcount, statistics for each forum etc. All I really want is the same username and password.

It is NOT easy to share the user database between boards.

So without turning the entire VB code up side down, it's not possible?

Erm, not you can't, unless you fancy re-writing a fair bit of the code.

Nope, not really.
