Actually users register on the board (not on a particular forum.I have successfully installed phpBB from cpanel and have figured out how to create categories/forums/subforums and user groups etc. but I want to setup two completely independent forums for two unrelated subjects. I have tried doing this, but as things stand it seems that when a user registers its not possible for the administrator to figure out which forum they are registering for ? So it looks like what I need to do is create a second board ? I think that's the correct terminology ?
I have no idea how to go about doing that especially as the install process was pretty much taken care of by cpanel.

If what you want is that your members belong to a group that can access only forum1 (and subforums) OR only forum2 (and subforums) ... then
Make 2 groups with different access permissions (e.g. once member of a group with access to Forum1, that group membership could restrict access to other forums).
Take note the users always have to be member of the RU group.
On aside note: boards automatically installed by CPanel (the 1-click installations) usually end up having issues. You're safer with installing the board manually - the process is very simple.
