UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 6 Version 6 Support How do I Move a Large Number of Threads?

Hi,

I'm running UBB.threads 6.4.2 and I need to remove some forums. I'd like to put all of the threads from the forums I'm removing in a forum that I'm keeping so they will still be available to the members.

Is it possible to move them all at once or do I have to move them one at a time?

Thanks,

In that version there is no admin tool for mass moving, so you'd need to do a couple direct SQL commands. I'd recommend doing a database backup before proceeding.

First, you'll need the forum id of the forum you're deleting and then the forum id that you want to move the posts to.


You'll also want to update the total number of posts and replies in the new forum. So you'll want to the total that exist in the forum you're deleting. In the query below, #posts is the total # of posts in the board you're deleting, #threads is the total # of topics/threads, newid is the forum that you've moved them to.

Thanks Bro!

I'll report back and let you know how it goes.
