I plan to add a second forum to my existing site, in another subdomain. Database is MySQL and I want to keep my existing users.
In setup, do I need to create the empty tables first, and then run the setup.asp? In my local test I was asked to provide the admin, which allready exists in the forum_members which is the only one I plan to keep (both strTablePrefix and strFilterTablePrefix are getting newforum_). Also, since I changed my admin account I made sure to change the number in intAdminMemberID.
If I change my cookies to website, not forum, will that work to keep the people logged in in both subdomains and the main site? Will they need to log out, clear cookies and log back in? When I tryed that localy the new path was / (as opposed to forum.site.com I had while it was set to forum).
Anything else I forgot?

| Making new tables but leaving the members on forum_ overwrites the old members apparently. |

You need to create all the tables normally, with new prefixes and, once the forum is installed, change the members table prefix back to its original value.
I'm not sure whether the login will work with subdomains. You should also be aware that a visit to one of the forums will have the effect of changing the last visit date for both forums. |

I can drop the new_members table too, right? |
