I have a live forum running vb3.0.7 and a new clean instal of vb3.5.2 (there is no data yet, I just finnished the instal and removed instal.php) My intention was to close the live forum and import using Impex from 3.0.7 to 3.5.2 but I now believe this not the best way as all the user and spidered link id's etc will be changed.
I have an option of having my hosts overwrite the vb3.5.2 database with a copy from my live 3.0.7 forums, if I do this will I then be able to run the update option and be left with a fully functional 3.5.2vb instal with all my data from the "live forums". Also, do I need to replace the deleted instal.php file first?
What is the best way to proceed?
