Hi, so I asked this question from the vBulletin people and I was told to post on the vBulletin.com forums, I posted there and was told to post here, so here I am. :-D



I plan to have 3 buttons on my website that direct people to different forums. I would like these forums to have sub forums relevant to the topic that the user had clicked on using the main page of my website. I would also like to have a sub forum on these 3 forums that share the section with one another. It was also suggested that I create 3 different user groups, so the user would have to register first and choose which forum they would like to see, but I would like unregistered users to have the option to click on 1 of these 3 forums and be directed to the forum they desire without having to register first. As of right now I have one license that I have purchased from vBulletin, would I need two more.

An example that I have seen done is: m3post.com and e90post.com, these two forums have their own sub forums but also share a sub forum.

I'm not sure if that makes much sense, so maybe this will help.

Any help would be appreciated.

No one seems to know how this was done and they are protecting their secret.
