Moving An Invision Power Board

[Devynn]

Right now I am running an invision power board on my site for my star wars galaxies player assoiation. Currently, a friend of mine in the PA, is in the process of registering a domain for our PA and setting up our board on the new domain. He's going to probably be hosting here at TCH (thanks to my recommendations ) and I was wondering if there is a way to export my DBs for the current board for the users, posts, forums, etc, and import them into the new DBs on the new board?

Hi,

 

yes there is an its very easy. Infact there are many ways of doing it. To find the best one for you goto:

 

http://www.invisionpower.com/documentation/ipb/ and look under FAQ. Then select "Backup and restore" where you can find a few options which you can work your way through and decide on the best ones

Thanks. That worked almost perfectly. Just one quick note, if you have a custom skin installed that everyone is using, make sure you install that skin first before you move over the DB.
