Hi there - I'm hoping some helpful member of this community can assist me. I have one install of vBulletin with two sub-forums, each with unique templates, and each serving a different community.

Smartphone Thoughts:
http://forums.thoughtsmedia.com/forumdisplay.php?f=26

Zune Thoughts:
http://forums.thoughtsmedia.com/forumdisplay.php?f=4

The problem is that when a reader of either site clicks on NEW POSTS (http://forums.thoughtsmedia.com/search.php?do=getnew) inside their community forum, they get shown a list of all new posts from across both forums. Not surprisingly, the people coming to read posts about Smartphones don't want to see posts about the Zune, and vice-versa.

The ability to have custom templates per forum is amazing - it allows me to do exactly what I want - but the lack of ability to keep the forums isolated regarding new posts is the #1 user complaint I'm receiving. It's hugely problematic, so I'm looking for a solution that does the job, but also does it in such a way that it doesn't make upgrades overly problematic.

Any ideas?
