It is very nice with all these buttons and selections; whatever comes to mind, as an improvement of your forum, I find it already implemented, and I just have to approve, install, or enable it. That is super; this is complex stuff and it is difficult to get it right.

My little problem is that I need to configure two forum installs at the same time. They are on the same server, but will run on different accounts and databases. The URL is different. In short: only the forum-install questions differ; I want the rest to be the same.

I was wondering if I can possibly copy some settings file to the other forum?

Right!
It would also copy the database-install and the/all forum contents --- If I can change it, it is OK.

Most of the settings are in include/GLOBALS.php.
You can copy this file (minus the DB settings) to your second installation.

To install a backup from another forum didn't work really well, as the path/config and DB is different. But some careful editing of the Forum_Data/install/GLOBALS.php is OK, and contain most of the settings. Thank you for your help! I now have three forums!!

Nice! It's always handy to have a couple of development/test forums to try new things on Smile
