Forum Layout Help

[hellerooo]

I have a forum running covering 4 different subject areas. I would like to seperate it into 4 different forums all on the same website (under different tabs on the homepage). My members will all use the 4 forums so ideally they won't have to register on each forum! Is this possible?

Also, if I am able to have the 4 seperate forums is there a way to have the main forum page as posts rather than forums? Kind of like this... http://community.homeandhealthtv.co.uk/eve/forums?s=17710453&a=frm&f=905109722 rather than a list of forums.


Really greatful for any advice

Thanks x

Do you mean like how this site has a tab for Forums, Modifications, Styles, and Articles? All the forums listed in each tab are all part of vb.org but listed on separate tabs. I believe in the Forum Manager you set the categories to Display Order 0 and then you just link to them.

As for the first page with all the posts, there are modifications to put the Latest 10 Posts/Threads on a page, so just adapt that to the Latest 30 or whatever and put the code on it's own page. I don't believe there is an already existing modification for what you want, but it is doable.

That sounds perfect!

I will have a go. If I can't do it do you think someone on here would be happy to help, i'd be happy to pay for time/expertise.

Thanks for the info x
