Hi - I did a clean install of v7 and everything seems to be working great so far. I did have an issue w/ permissions on the Language files, but managed to fix that. Anyway...
I've been setting up some things on the clean install as my UBB.classic board keeps humming along. Before I go too crazy spending time on it, I have some questions...
1) Will the Styles settings and other settings I have been making to the clean install of v7 be overwritten when I import my UBB.classic board?
2) I recreated my Admin account on v7 -- when I import from Classic will it overwrite it, or should I delete it first?
2) Can I safely import my Classic board while it's still up and running, without it interfering with my active members?
(I don't care about loss of data into v7, it's just a test) That is, will the importer interfere with the Classic files at all, and vice versa?
3) How does v7 and Classic compare on disk spaced used, assuming everything else is constant (# of members, posts, etc)
4) Does the importer ask what we want imported, or does it import everything it's designed to?
5) Will it take all afternoon to import 4522 members, 15 forums, 13,800 topics, 336,000 posts ?
6) How could the Yankees screw up like that??
Okay, this question is optional.
I'm just testing things - I don't plan on switching over just yet. When I do, I'll reimport with Classic shut off.
Thanks!
