willing old hand W Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 678	I am running classic 6.7.2 in this location: www.myserver.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi The only 2 folders on the domain name are: www.myserver.com/ubb www.myserver.com/cgi-bin Nothing else. There are no other files on the domain name, which is used purely for the forums. I want to set up threads on the same domain and play around with it for a while (maybe as long as a few weeks or a month) before importing. Question: Can I setup and put threads in the following location www.myserver.com/ (ie. not in any folder), without it affecting anything to do with classic? Is it safe to do that? Thank you!

Is it safe to do that? Yes; so long as you don't over-write any classic files there isn't anything to worry about... I am a Web Development Contractor, I do not work for UBBCentral.
