UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic UBB.classic 5 Support Transfering messages from one board to another

We have spent the past month revamping our message board ... adding hacks, redesigning logos, etc.. All of this was done on a second copy of UBB on our server so we didn't interfere with the operational use of our existing board.

Now that we are ready to make the switch over to the re-designed UBB, we are getting requests by some of the moderators to have the posts of certain Forums moved over!

Is this possible?

Yes, this is possible. For example...

- Create a new forum (or activate one currently Off)
- Move selected threads into the new forum using the UBB Move feature
- Transfer, via FTP ASCII mode, the .cgi files from that Forum# directory to a new forum at the new UBB
- Move the threads from that forum into the appropriate forum using the UBB Move feature
- Delete the threads at the original board
- Rinse, repeat
