The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

Hey

I'm new to Vbulletin and I'm just in the process of creating our forum and thread base. The idea of the site is to have a database to catalog information. The problem is, we have identical sub forums we need to input the same sub forums for different cities and countries (mainforums). Obviously entering 10 sub forums for every major city in North America is very time consuming and exhaustive and I was just wondering if anyone has any clue about how to do this faster?

Thanks so much

You cannot easily create forums because of datastores, permissions etc. You should use the Forum Data Manager.

Also be aware that vBulletin can not handle more then ~1500 (sub)forums on most servers without problems.

Have you looked into using tags instead of too many sub-forums?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
