Topic: Backup forum, moving to another domain?

Hi.

I'd like to know, how I can backup my posts, topics, and all other stuff, so I can move it to my own domain?

Right now I'm using an free host, but I'm moving to my own bought domain...

I hope, that you can help me, I'm new with this forum.

Either using Connorhd's plugin or the PHPmyAdmin, make a full backup (not just the structure). Restoring the backup takes time, lot of time, so get some patience and a pack of cigarettes if you smoke.

Funny way to say it, but okay...

I thought, that there was a way to do it, just like phpBB, with a Backup menu :S

That Connorhd's plugin adds a menu to the admin panel that does exactly what you need. Try it.

Not a plugin but a modification that you can find here. Yet next version of the forums (1.3) will have an extension system and the private message won't be anymore a modification but an extension (in other words: you won't need to edit the source code).
