I would like to do a test run of an import. But, I was wondering, when I'm actually ready to do the actual import, do I just run the import again, or do I have to strip everything out before running it again?
This is an import from UBB.Classic 6.7.3 to 7.2.1. I've successfully got everything all installed/tested to the point where it is ready for the import.
Thanks, Tim

It's best to do a reinstall. Drop all of the tables, then run the installation script. If you just truncate each table, then topic and post ids will be skewed (ie, the first user imported could be id# 15000)

You could also just drop all the ubbt_ tables and run /ubb/install/createtable.php to recreate them and do a re-import.
Please note that you might have things setup at your testboard. Re-importing will make sure you loose those settings (any forum settings you changed, post greamlins, styles).

I might get to test this out sooner than I thought. Had problems with import (will post in seperate post.)
