Yeah you're not allowed to display full source code, good luck with repackaging it -- it'd be an excellent hack!

Yeah I asked a Moderator and that is what they told me. I am however still going to work on getting instructions setup to make this work. They led me to a compare program so I am going thru and comparing the files and seeing what all that I changed.

I promise I will get this up soon as possible. I know this was a huge thing for me to be able to get another site up and running. I did successfully take the code off the second site and install it to a now third site with very little work so once you get it done once I think the sky is the limit on creating new sites.

I will post links to the directions once I get them up

Ok guys here it is

westpointer I hope you don't mind i used bits and pieces of your directions to save time. I did give credit so I hope that is ok

If you have any questions about this modification please post in the new thread above.

Thanks

Excellent! I'll add your link to the top of this thread.

im using 3.6.x can some do this for me? pm me please.. THANKS

Sorry, I just don't have the time for any additional projects now.

is it possible to run something like this across multiple servers?

I run a big board (90k members, 1.5 million posts and 1.3 million visits a month) and am wanting to expand into multiple other forums. Basically setting up about thirty other forums (when it is all done) and having each current user being automatically registered, and all new members being able to auto register across all forums no matter which one they sign up on. Since my site allows image uploads and is art heavy, I do not think a single server is possible when it is all said and done. I will need many servers eventually.

If anyone can assist me with this, please let me know at jmanley@massiveblack.com The site is called conceptart.org and you can find the forums link atop the page. We are making a photography forums, a fine art forums and some other areas.

Please advise...just talented artists here, not many programmers.

I'm experimenting with that right now with vb 3.6.8. I "think" that it's possible given all the right conditions. I'll post back here in a week or so with my results.

Great, let everyone know if it works. vB totally needs to implement this kind of feature into their software.

oh man, I forgot I posted this! I've done it and it works great. Create an account at www.armchairgeneral.com/forums then go over to http://www.armchairhq.com/forums/ (nothing really in that forum, it's a test area.)

Those two forums are on the same server ... but if you really want to see the potential, go to www.brentandmary.net/vb36 (login is acg, 99acg99). Now that rocks! That's three databases on two different servers tied into the same vb user login.

Now ... I just gotta find the time to document how to do it. For those who can get a command line, I think I can do a unix script that would all the changes automagically in seconds!

Why vb doesn't support this is a mystery to me. The easily could.
