I done 2 tests into databases which i kept one and dumped the latter, as that's now my test forum.

But i done as you did prepared everything and went for it.

Still had lots of tweaks to make,
but its so much better that i did.

Well done.

lol I probably did 30 imports; which is odd cas the one i went live with took forever to import over lol...

I'm really pleased with it, I've seen a LOT of restored resources on the machine (I'm anal retentive about resource usage, so I monitor it regularly).
