I'm very interested in doing the same thing as the thread creator. I want to create a second vB forum on the same hosting account using the same database as my main forum.

Could you elaborate a little further on the these table prefixes?

If I go to install a second vB forum on a sub domain what are the steps I need to take to use my existing database on the first forum. And will this second vB forum show all the existing users, threads, posts, etc.. once you complete the install? And does it matter if these two forums use different versions of vB? i.e. 3.6.5 and 3.8

I'm not an expert in MySQL, so forgive the newbie questions.

Thanks!
