Can this be done? (subdomain with different forums?)

[Spaz21]

Hey everyone....

We have a site (www.j-body.com) which is currently running out car club site and message forums. We have a huge annual show (as well as other shows throughout the year) and rather than run a sepearate site for these shows I'd kinf of like to keep it on the same site but separate at the same time.

Is there a way to say have a link to bash.j-body.com (for our annual show) and when a user on the site clicks on it it essentially eliminates the general site forums and then displays the forums relavant to that show (Caravans, Events at the show, Awards, Photos, etc.)?

The main goal at the end of the day is to have separate sub-sites with their own forums that can share the same set of users so people don't have to re-register on each site.... and of course since it's a car club we're trying to avoid buying additional licenses if we can (obviously money is tight).

Any tips/tricks/pointers would be appreciated

Thanks.

Uh I'm not sure if I quit understand what you want, but the Vbulletin license only allow us to use the board for 1 site only unless you pay more I think, but you can make a seperated site subdomain for your site. You can set that up through yoursite.com/cpanel

Do you mean like how this site is set up? You click on Articles and you get a set of forums, click on Modifications and you get a different set of forums, etc? Those are each Categories that have their Display Order set to 0 (I think - or you can simply set it in the forum manager to not be viewable except by a direct link).

The right place to ask about anything regarding what you are allowed to do with your license is at vbulletin.com. Put in a support ticket with the particulars and they can tell you if you are allowed to do it with a single license or not.

^ ^ ^

thats essentially what i want to do.... create a link that says "Click here to visit our Bash Forums"... when they click that it directs them to say bash.j-body.com which causes the general forums to automatically be hidden... i think what you described will work
