Hi Otto,

I was wondering if parts of the database can also be shared between the forums.

Yes, that's possible.

Hi Alex,

Just to be sure:

$db_settings['settings_table'] = 'mlf2_settings';
$db_settings['forum_table'] = 'mlf2_entries';
$db_settings['category_table'] = 'mlf2_categories';
$db_settings['userdata_table'] = 'mlf2_userdata';
$db_settings['smilies_table'] = 'mlf2_smilies';
$db_settings['pages_table'] = 'mlf2_pages';
$db_settings['banlists_table'] = 'mlf2_banlists';
$db_settings['useronline_table'] = 'mlf2_useronline';
$db_settings['login_control_table'] = 'mlf2_logincontrol';
$db_settings['entry_cache_table'] = 'mlf2_entries_cache';
$db_settings['userdata_cache_table'] = 'mlf2_userdata_cache';

Is it safe to share the tables depicted in blue? (Of course I can "unshare" settings if it appears that I need some different settings between the two forums.

Otto
