I like the idea, and it's something I'm looking for. I'm just not sure it will do what I want.

I run two forums for motorcycles and I created the 2nd forum off the 1st one so it has all the same forum topics.

I would like to merge the two forums into one, but still show 5 diffrent forums depending on what domain they are on. Would this be possible with this mod?

ie

widget.com has 5 forums dedicated to widgets
gadgets.com has it's 5 forums dedicated to gadgets

and the two domains share the offtopic section

ochlocracy, yes. you would place all the forums into the one area (like normal). then set up the two different sets of usergroups, 2 usergroups for unregistered (one for each site), 2 usergroups for registered, 2 usergroups for moderators, etc.
Then you would set the permissions on each usergroup to view only certain forums.
You then set the supermod and admin to view all the forums, or what ever suits your needs.

One thing - just test the installation on a test server to begin with.
you will need to import the forums and members from one site to the other - and this is really the only thing you need to test to make sure it works. This also means all the thread ids would be given new ids due to the ids already being taken by the other forum.
check to see if the impex will effectively do this for you, otherwise we'll need to create a custom export & import script.

also, some news regarding this script:

all members of this site that have installed this script, please check the last 5% of your member database, either 50 members or members which have registered over the past 2 months.
Check how many are full members, and how many haven't finalised and are still awaiting authorisation.
- is the 'awaiting authorisation' number abnormally high?
- should more people (based on record before installing this hack) be confirming their membership??

i've been noticing this problem with mine - seems people are receiving the confirmation email, but when they click it, it takes them to (my) site and says 'confirmed!'. but it doesn't actually change their membership in the database.
I've had a look through the code, but can't figure out why this bug is occuring.

a) it's only happening to between 30-60% of my new members since installing this script
b) it's a hit and miss. first time i tested was fine, second time it happened.

the problem is located in the register.php page, most likely.

Once this problem is fixed - we'll release an update. if anyone has any thoughts, i'd love to hear them.

Is there an update on this product, say, a 3.6 plugin / product version?

Very interesting!

i gave up on my site due to lack of hirable programmers.
we're getting back into it this year with a programmer i've been hoping to work with for the past few months - hopefully he will be good, and the site will come back online.
when it does, we'll be moving to vb3.6 and then we'll create an update.

That may be good news then. Check out vb 3.7.

any news on an update for this?

did you work on this yet?
