Well, you will have to create another forum.

May I remind you that double/triple posting isn't tolerated unless separated by 24 hours (Use the edit button)
There is no way two have two forums basically on one.

1. You can make new forums, and add a link to our previous webpage/forums.
2. You can ask me to help you, e.g with a html page, so when they visit your page they see a portal asking them for the platform, when they click on the platform they can be redirected to the forums of that platform.

frost00777, could you possibly help me with no. 2?
I have created a website on webs.com and I would like the members to be redirected to my forum on forumotion..

Shortly, how do I have members end up in my forum when they click on the forum link. I would like the default forum on that site to disappear as well..

Basically what you're asking to can you have one section on your forums for one platform, and another section for another platform, such as one for Xbox, one for PC, one for Playstation?

I'm thinking that they're assuming you need another FORUM, but what you just need to do is create another Category, then have your "forums" underneath it.

This can be done in the Categories & Forums section of your Administration panel, just add the sections that you need.

Okay, I searched for your site, and found it.

What you want to do is categorize one platform under one category, so for instance put your COD stuff into one category, and have the forums listed for COD under one category, then just add another category and make that for another game/platform.

After you create the forum categories, you could then also create sub-forums. Again, all on the Admin panel under your categories and forums.

I hope that helps, and that's what you were looking for.

I'm a member of the PMS Clan, and that's how our site is laid out, but you can't really see it unless your a member. I also run a forumotion site for our Division (halo 3) for when we have site issues (like the one we just had).

Oh, and one last thing, you don't have to delete anything to move it, just move your forums positions to a different category by selecting them, then rechoosing the category they are listed under.

If you need any help, let me know!!

Take care!
