Without getting things horribly complicated lets just say the DB"s have to be on the same server

Telnet into your system. You may need root access to do this properly. Stop your MySQL service before doing anything much.

Change into the directory where your secondary forum is. Create a shell script and paste these contents into it: (obviously change /backup2/mysql/msusenet/ to the location of your main DB)

rm -f useractivation.*
rm -f userban.*

Backup ALL DB's involved!

chmod +x the file you pasted that info into. ./ execute it.....

start MySQL back up.... You can see it in action at http://www.msusenet.com/ and the usenet sites linked in the header. There's some issues involved with this but its NO PHP code hacking at all! its a simple hackish way of doing it but its the easiest way I could think of.

Anybody have anything to add to this? Don't share your template file, I've received rather goofy results and broken quite a few things while sharing some of the other tables. YMMV

Is there any way to do this with out SSH access to the database server? I'm on shared hosting and have access to the main forum files server, but not the database server.
