Just going back to this point:
"and yes it's possible to use the same directories, however during yoru import you'd want to use a new directory, then change the directory name once it's installed."
So I can install the new forums in
/thisfolder
and then when it is all setup just simply change the name of the folder to
/thatfolder
Simple as that?
And when I import, does my classic need to be closed?
Thanks for all the help!
