Alright, I have my site set up using the LUE2 source that I have edited. I cannot think of anything to do to make it 'original' so I want to use a different source. Is there a way I can have 'two' message boards? Would I just set a subdomain for it and call it something like www.mysite.trap17.com/newsitename if I wanted to do a subdomain? I want to code a board from scratch, but I dont want to have to get rid of my current site to do it until I get it perfected. So it will have next to no members and take up no disc space. Is there a way I could do that?

Is there a way I could do that?  If you are not comfortable creating a subdomain through the cpanel, you can just create a folder and create the boards inside that folder. Then the new board would be accessible through www.yoursite.trap17.com/newfolder Then is the problem of redirecting everyone to your new board. If you have current users in the present board, just make a new file called index.html and keep it in the source folder. These should be the contents of the index.html file: CODE <html> <head> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;url=http://www.yoursite.trap17.com/newfolder/"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> You will be redirected to the new board in 3 seconds... </body> </html> Notice that there are 2 variables here in the code. 1. content="" : Determines the time in seconds after which the user will be redirected to the new url 2. url=http://www.yoursite.trap17.com/newfolder/": Determines where the user will be redirected to... You can play around with this... So next time a user types http://www.yoursite.trap17.com, he will be taken to http://www.yoursite.trap17.com/newfolder/ Isn't this fun? Googlue |

What you stated is whats usually called /you not a subdomain, a subdomain would be www.NEW.yoursite.trap17.com.
Are sure you know how to code a forum from scratch, if so I cant wait to see it   ~ Munchie ~ |
