Topic: Forum to a new server?
How do I send my board to a new server?
Connor said something about deleting something in my backup, but I don't know anything more than that...
Does anyone know?

Well, you need to take a backup of the old forum database somehow (maybe using the backup plugin) and then you need to upload and restore that backup on the new server. Then edit your config.php accordingly.

It is to big.
with phpmyadmin.
If it is to big, you can cut the dump and then upload part after part. You can for example just upload one table, then another....

Re: Forum to a new server?
be careful, when i did this it made diced up a lot of peoples passwords, and they had to email me, or use the pass recovery tool to get a new password...no idea why this happened, but recently my server had to be reloaded, and a lot of people couldnt login with their password. (they got a recent backup of the minute, till the server died, no info was lost)
