Cross-Listed Forums?

[AF-Brandy]

Ok, I'll try to explain this the best I can.

I know that you can create a Forum listed in one category and force it to direct anyone who clicks on the forum to go wherever you want them to - but we can't do that. We can't have the same content with two different URL's - our head coder say's thats a problem with Search Engines - so...

Is is possible to create ONE forum and list it under two different categories, but use the same URL?

I asked this same question on vb.com and was told that there might be a hack/mod for it. We're in the process of upgrading to 3.5 - if that matters.

Any help or tips would be really great

Thanks!

It shouldn't be too difficult to create, but AFAIK it doesn't exist yet.

Well Marco, thanks for answering at least...even if it isn't the answer I wanted

Well, with over 100K members and 600 forums, I really need this...as it is, people complain ALL THE FREAKIN TIME!

Again, thanks

Ok, more about "Forum Linking".

I'm still thinking about this option - but the one draw back I'm having and I can't seem to resolve is this.

If I create a forum and link it to another forum - the forum I have created will always say it has zero post/views and the section about last post will be blank.

Is there a way to address this issue? If I can address this, I think I'd just use the forum linking option and see how it goes.

Can someone, anyone, please tell me if there is a way to have the most recent post data show up on the newly created and linked forum, or will it always be nada?

Thanks!
