Ok I have searched and have read quite a bit tonight and I have these questions.

1. I have an exsisting board. I have aquired another board UBB and want to import the data base into mine. Can it be done?

I know the answer is yes more than likely, but I have to ask to reassure myself

2. ANything that I have to do special for this import?

3. Any bugs or problems I may experiance?

ANy input on this would help.

Yesa i have searched, but I may have not searched with the right information.

I found my previous request but not this one

I honestly cannot remember if the import routine renumbers the topics, but I'm pretty sure it dies since I managed to double up topics in a few of my forums the first time I installed vB.

I can't think of any hitches or bugs you might encounter, but be damned sure to back up your database before trying this.

Ohh trust me I have a back of my database done every night. :)

Well I am gonna have a back up of the UBB as well. I just hope it all goes well.

Thanks for the quick reply. Will try this Sunday Night Monday morning.
