how that go and have the board a importfkt, like for the ubb??

if you move your board from 1 host to another all you have to do is "dump" the database into a file and import it into the database on the other host. Of course, you have to copy the program files, too.

If you have access by telnet to the MySQL server which currently operates your board, then you should use the mysqldump tool provided with MySQL:


mysqldump <dbname> > /forum.txt


Where <dbname> is the name of the database. You should then transfer that forum.txt file on to the destination server, either by direct FTP, or by downloading it onto your PC and then onto the destination server.

If you do not have telnet access, you should download the phpmyadmin program from this site: http://www.phpwizards.net/

You should set that up on the source and destination servers, and then use it to do a dump of the database from the source server. You should then be able to insert the data using phpmyadmin again onto the destination server.
