New forum

[NexVision]

I am building a new forum due to the fact I lost all my attachments so I figured start fresh how would I go about keeping my users intact.

You can import your users using ImpEx. The ImpEx scripts are available for download in the member's area.

Which version is it, and do you have a functioning forum?

[NexVision]

yes im functioning on vb 3.01 and im going to upgrade to 3.03

[NexVision]

im not really sure how to do this is there anywhere that has a step by step

1) Install a new 3.0.3 forum.

2) Download ImpEx from the member's area. Upload the impex folder to the forum directory. Edit the impex/ImpExConfig.php file so the target database is your new forum, and the source is your old forum.

3) In your new forum, go to the:

Admin CP -> Import & Maintenance -> Import / Export

Run the import.

The Admin CP option only shows up if you have uploaded the impex folder to your forum directory.

If you need help with the import then you can submit a support ticket with your server and forum information.
