UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic UBB.classic 6 Support UBB6 Working, now how do I import?

Hi All,

Well thanks to the 7.1 upgrade, I finally got UBB working. It installed perfectly the first time, THANKS GUYS! <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I have a question, however. How do I import my UBB5x members/forums/posts? I don't want to have to make them all re register again.
Let me know, thanks again!

I am not sure you can now. Had you read the documentation you would have found that you were supposed to run the upgrade script and do all data import BEFORE you set up your board.

Try uploading fresh clean vars files and deleting all of the newly created subdirectories in the members directory and then read the upgrade instructions located in your help directory.

Well, I haven't overwritten my current version if that's what you thought. I have a seperate test directory for the new versions. I know the importance of backups <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> . So basically your saying I should delete the new fresh installed version, copy over the old version to my test directories and install the upgrade? I'll see if that works...

That's what I'd do - gives you a chance to run the upgrade process and see how it works.. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
