How: Different forums for different areas (Like vB.org)

[Theoldwiz]

Hello,

I am making a forum mainly for school help/discussion and I really liked how vB.org set up different forums in different sections. Is this very hard to do? Is this even possible to do? I really wanted an area for questions and an area for discussion.

For example, if you hit Articles then Forums on vB.org they are 2 different areas.

Thanks,

Wizzy

change "yourdomain" to your own domain and "forum" to whatever you name your forum folder.

Not sure what the above post is about...but:

Go to your forum manager and set the forum display order to 0 for forums you don't want to show on the main homepage. (Make a note of their forum ID numbers).

Then create some HTML links in a template (e.g. FORUMHOME) that points to that forum with a link like this:
<a href="http://yourforum.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=X">Forum Discussion</a>
(Where X is the Forum ID number)

the problem in this case appears in archive where any forum with display order (0) will not appear there too.
