Topic: Two forums from one database

Is it possible to run two the same forums from one database?

I would like to run a good looking forum for PC's and a mobile forum that has to be minimal. But both with the same content......

for example

normal forum at www.mydomain.com
mobile forum at pda.domain.com

THX in advance

HTCClub.net team thx the builders of this great forum.

You could alter the code to change the style based on the hostname I suppose, if that's what you're talking about,

Re: Two forums from one database

Couldn't you address this issue just through CSS - ie have one CSS file for mobile/handheld users, one for regular browsers, one for printing etc, while running on the same domain name.

Eg place in your <HEAD> section something like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/handheld.css" media="handheld" />

Opera.com for example does this very well.
