Thanks for that information and the e-mail. I guess I won't require that much of resources though the school has plenty. In the meantime I tried registering for a forum on your site. In the administration panel DB size is shown as 26.43 MB. Whats that?

Also, as you are running a forum service based on punBB, you might be having a idea how much DB space and bandwidth a bunch of 200 students will require with assuming 100 forums to be very active.

You are being really helpful. Really thanks a lot. I will try to modify the current version as per school needs and if failed will surely take your help. Are there any big feature differences between the current version and the old version that you are having? Yes it will be of some help if you can mail that version to me.

ID detection is no problem for me and I can do that with any type of URL. I am well equiped with regex. Your suggession of prefixing or suffixing avatar and cache files is also very good but I have not yet looked into the codes. Will it be a very heavy task? How many files will be affected? By the way I couldn't get your line: " i can just send you atm".

Topic: Multiple Forums... Best Way ?? (8 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
I am a computer teacher in a school and I also manage the school's computer network. I want the students to be able to create their own punBB forums for them. Can anyone advise me here on the best way to go about it? I will be really greatful. Having seperate installations and seperate databases doesn't seem to me the best idea. Different table names will solve the problem of too many databases but what to do with the forum files. The cache and avatar directory must be seperate as per my intelligence. Please advice.
