Hello,
I recently migrated over from the now-defunct IcyBoards, and noticed there was no option in the Admin panel to import a forum database.
I would really like it if I didn't have to lose all of my old posts and data from my old forum, and would like to know if there is a way you guys can import the database.
Thanks,
DJVoxel

Yes you need pm me a link to your database and forum url.
Your forum url will be replaced with that data.

Thanks for importing the database!
However, there seems to have been an error with the import of the database. The Rules Forum (which should have threads in it), shows no threads and clicking the latest post in the forum gives a "thread does not exist" page.
I hope you're able to restore the posts as they're important to what I'd like to do.
Thanks again,
DJVoxel.

The threads in the Rules forum that are missing should be the Thread IDs 2-5 I believe.

Done.
Please try to register a new user on your forum.
Your forum version was older so it may require some udpates

It doesn't matter, just leave it how it is now

I quickly set up a second account and it seems to be working fine.
I'll let you know if I have any more issues, but the database seems to have been imported successfully.
Thank You,
