To migrate from one forum database and all its posts to another forum script, first you must find out if the new forum script offeres some kind of automatic transfer or conversion gadget.
If a conversion gadget/script is not available, you must perform the writing of new data in manually. For example, your forum has prefix of SMF_ and variables like UserName, you must replace SMF_UserName with your new forum's prefix NewForum_UserName.
This is neither the task for beginning web hosting members nor members unfamiliar with manual database manage.
Seek to find the database convertor by your intended new forum script. That would be your best bet.
Maybe I don't fully understand, but here's my advice.
If I think I know what you're asking, this should be very easy for you to do.
If you are using the same kind of forum, say SMF, back up your database in cpanel. Once you backup your database simply delete the forum and everything under it. Then create the new forum, upload the database, and you should be good to go.
Everything can be done in cpanel you seem to be a new member and might be a newbie at things but take your time and look around.
If your switching from one SMF to another SMF (it doesnt really matter what software your using) You can download the back up. Then when you switch to your new one restore it.

Sorry , but can you tell me where and how can I back up the files ? If I delete the old one after back up then install the new one , I think all the post will be deleted because I will run the new one or the posts will be there but in the back up then how to make it work ? Thank you
Log onto cpanel. On the home page of cpanel browse to find the backup image and link. Once you click that you'll be directed to where you can select the database you want to backup.
It takes three or four clicks once you get into cpanel. Look around I think it's under site management in cpanel. Once you backup the database you can delete it off of your files and restore it once you create the new forum.
Its better that you make another test forum then make some post, backup them and do some trial runs before you delete the forum... Else if you make one mistake its going to cost you your entire forum... And what forum software are you using? Different forum software has different ways of transferring of data between forum, and you can check out if any method is provided by the forum support...
Thanks for all the tips you guys gave me , I will try it out. Anyway , I am using Simple Machines Forum , what do you think about this : Should I try back up the database then creat another forum so that all the topics will be there OR just delete the old forum then announce all members about the problem that the old forum was deleted ? What do you think ? Thank you.
Hey, I'm going to put up a MyBB forum up on my host soon. Is there a possibility to transfer all
the old posts from my current host -> trap17 host? Will i need to copy the whole MySQL database and
paste it to the trap17 host? or can i just access the adminpanel and make a backup, then put that
backup through trap17.com up again? QUOTE MyBB: MyBulletinBoard (abbreviation: MyBB) is a

I am hopping mad. I have had nothing but grief since Trap 17 moved their Data Center (DC).
My site has been down more time than it has been up. I have had to contact Live Support at Xisto 4
times now in the last month. This is ridiculous. They fix things, it lasts a few days and my site
is down again. I am at my wits end. I have been told my support to contact Shree. I have
already communicated with him and he told me that things were solved 6/16, then whatever happened,
my site was lost completely and had to be restored from their backup. My whole acc....

For those of you who are hosted on Trap17 and using phpBB3.0.x you might want to consider adding
some mods... Some mods which I extremely highly recommend to get is: #1 "Anti-Bot Question" mod,
which adds a question like "can you see through glass?" (not actual example, result may vary),
according to many people who have tried the mod, it is REALLY useful at keeping low-medium level
advanced bots at bay, although some extremely complex advanced bots may still get through... I
personally don't have this mod, but I would install it if I have the time to... #2 "Evi....
My situation: I started the cpanel process and clicked on fantastico to begin downloading phpBB2
automatically on it. It had told me it couldn't continue the process because there were items
that needed to be deleted, so I deleted everything, the mail regenerated itself fortunately, when I
reinstalled the phpBB2 discussion board via fantastico I looked at the ftp folder and then tried to
access the site via IE web browser. I got a 404 page. "Not Found The requested URL / was not found

I was wondering, and I am horrible with Cpanels mind you, how to install a new theme. I have an smf
discussion board and I decided to download a theme from the theme place for smf. So it downloads,
and appears in winrar. When I extract it, it comes with a big pile of files, with 2 folders:
Language, and Images. First question is: Do I install these somewhere in the 'File manager'
in cpanel? Ok if yes: Where? Third: Do the main files, language , and image go in different
places? Fourth: There is about 4584305834098 image files, is there a quicker way to get ....
As I said, I had to move my web site away from Trap17 temporarily because I had ran out of disk
space. Now, when my upgrade is finalised, I would like to ask for a little assistance. The provider
I will be moving my site from, back to Trap17 also uses Cpanel, and the admin let me know to do a
backup and that backup could be simply transferred via FTP to my new provider. The backup includes
all my files and MySQL data, in other words, the whole web site. It is in a .tar.gz format. How do I
get all this across? Do I 'unzip' the file and then transfer them bit by bi....

Ok I feel really really stupid (Which I am when it comes to this) but anyway on the SMF forum, there
is a package manager, you click install, and it installs the mods on the forum. However, sometimes
it gives you a link, to download the mod. So yeah I download it, and it appears on my desktop as a
bunch of icons that only make a million tabs appear when opened. I was wondering where in the world
am I supposed to put these mods so that they will work? I have tried some things but they did
nothing... Please help! Why Don't I ever get any replies! ....
Hello, I hope this is the right place to post this, I couldn't find any other place where this

other users, their picture shows up next to (or underneath) their name. I was wondering why this is
happening. Thanks. ....

I recently got involved in a Forum software script which is being developed and thought I should let

Visual Designers would be quite useful. AEF Forum Software is the name of the project. It is
presently in version 1.0.3, and have some pretty cool features already, but in order to advance in
its standings against such Boards as IPB, phpbb, Yabb, etc, more features and Themes are required.

Everybody knows of sites that can give you free forums like ipbfree, mnvisionfree, forumer, and many
others. My question is this, I read some where a while back that you were not allowed to have those
types of services on your board, meaning it was forbidden to have other people get boards and host
them on your site. I wanted to uploadf a scirpt that allowes you to have a service similar toi
those listed abov. Now I know that is against the ruoes, but I wanted to have a service like that,
but not enable everyone to be able to make oone. See I watned to make some cont....
