well im fine. i just accepted the fact that i lost the posts. my next problem/goal is that my forum will most likely be changing names soon. Because of that, i would like to have a new domain name for
www.tms.createmybb.com. and exactly, why cant you just copy the database (MySQL I think) and move it?? I don't know why you made the system so....unable to be modified.

Well I didn't orginally make it. It is now on a machine that I run and understand and now I can transfer if I needed to move again which we won't.

CreateMyBB Wrote:tikitiki Wrote:CreateMYBB, you can just export the tms table in the database on the old server using phpmyadmin or something like that and reimport it on the new server. how hard is that? Its only 2 tables. tms_threads and tms_posts?
phpMyAdmin stops working with several thousand tables. I had to remotely copy the entire db which took a couple hours.
oh, thats right. I totally forgot about that.
