Multiple forums.

[Valerie]

Hi, I'm an idiot.

Is it possible to add multiple forums of the same type from the control panel? I've installed an XMB forum already, and I'd like to add another. The PHP Auto-Installer doesn't give me the option of installing phpBB2, just viewing what's already installed under "/forum" (the XMB board). Under XMB Boards in the control panel, it looks like I can install another one, and then change it to pHpBB2. If I use another name (say, '/forum2'), will it overwrite or otherwise screw with my other forum?

Thanks.

You can only put one forum in a directory or you run the risk of overwriting files and breakig both forums, but there is nothing wroing with putting different boards in different directories, so setting up a 'forum2' will work fine.

I think you are only allowed to have one forum per account.

I don't think so. As long as you aren't using excessive resources on your server, they don't really care what you run in your account. You could have 10 low-traffic, well written forums that never cause a problem or a single poorly written, high-traffic forum that crashes the server every day. Which do you think they'd prefer to host?
