When I upgraded from classic. I did have a problem with the importer reading the members directory because I had mine above the root.
But it was a easy fix. I just copied the members directory below the root. And changed the path in the classic control panel.
There will be some housekeeping needed though. checking all the permissions for misc items/features/forums.
Also as far as the old classic board. The importer does not change edit or delete anything. so it will still work as is.
But if you don't close it then people will still be posting to classic instead of threads. Because that is where they goto currently.
So there is not a easy way to piece meal posts from classic to threads, it is all or nothing.
