Colin,
Thank you very much. You have been very helpful.
Let me better explain my forums.
I started a nursing forum, then offered other webmasters the ability to connect to my database. This way posts can be seen on all the websites. This was helpful to get the signups going faster, and to get more participation.
Now, I can offer it to other nursing sites like mine:
www.ultimatenurse.com and they can instantly have a forum with lots of users/posts in it, and it benefits me by expanding my network.
I think what I would like to do is to lease one license, and have someone do the work for me on another domain or something, until it is how I want it, and then I can import and switch.
Can you recommend someone to do all of this for me? Thanks.
