Hi,
I'm having a bit of a problem trying to figure out how to import all users from my old forums; vbulletin 2.2.6 to a fresh new install of vb 3.7.1_P1. I wish I could import the entire database from the old forums, but due to a serious server crash 2 yrs ago with the webhost I had at that time, there were tons of db errors popping up here and there, and it has been unbelievably difficult to even perform a full database backup from the old forums. Even contacting my host at the time was no help, I just could not get a full backup to complete. If anyone has any ideas on how to resolve that so I could backup that entire old forum database and import it to the fresh new install on a new host... much appreciated heh.
But, I'm guessing that won't work successfully, so I am wondering how could I import all the users from my old vb installation to the new one? To at least alleviate the need for all my old members not having to re-register on the new forums. Is this possible? If so, could someone provide me with some steps. I tried figuring out how to use this Impex Import system, but I'm not too code-savvy with that stuff and am kind of stuck on how to do it. I know this is probably a repeated type of request, but I wanted to lay out all the info on the situation to seek proper help with this.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me on this problem .
