test forum
 

can i set up a forum along side my existing one for testing modifications etc before implamenting them on my main forum is this allowed under the vb licence agreement or would i be in breech of rules.

It is supposed to be on a directory called /testvb/ which is protected in some manner against public viewing.

From the License Agreement

How would I make a directotory called testvb do I do it in ftp or something else because I would like to set one up.

create a subdomain and move your same copy of main site database to that private subdomain which can be used as test forum...:)

Couldnt I just make the sub then upload vb and not have to do the db thing because I dont really want my site on the test board.

Yes u can do it but check The Lines *

Ok I understand that, but what I am saying is I don't want my forum on the test board because I dont want to test it out on my current site forums, I would rather make the sub-domain then upload 3.7 onto that and test out stuff.

Yes u can....Thats what i do with my site more better is i moved my Databse to test site so i can make sure if anything is messed up so i can take some two three users to there for make sure things are working.

Well I don't want the db from my current site la to be on the test board.
