OK I have a few more questions.

At this point I have moved not only the mysql database but also most of the website to the new server,
I moved also a couple days old version of the forum files and after doing that
I went back to britbike.com server and closed the "OLD" forum and closed the registrations.

Then I noticed that after using Filezilla to upload the forum files, All directory was set to 755 and files to 644.
I changed THOSE DESCRIBED IN THE INSTALL MANUAL to 777 and all described files to 666.
After this some un mentioned directories/files are still set to 755/644
Next step was to alter the config which I did.

I then used the IP address in a browser and the forum opened and seems to work.
NOTICE I only browsed around and posted nothing. Oh yes I logged in and it worked fine. Then I closed that forum too.
After that I followed the instructions

SO here are a few more questions.

- Should I set All directories to 777 and all files to 666?
- How about the forums directory How do I chmod it?

- When I go to various UBBTHREADS forums and type in URL to different files such as heather.php and footer.php I see three different results.
1, see the page fully in my browser
2, see a blank page
3, see internal error page
How do I set so it is not possible to see full page by typing URL to header.php?

Conclusion at the top seems that It looks like I can go ahead to move the forum files as soon I have above answers how to set correct. Chmod

Thank you for reading all this.

PS
Have not pointed the domain name to new server yet.
