Hello to all of you. The point is simple: Right now i'm running 3 differents forums (all on vb script), but due time and some others problems i'm thinking about merging 2 of them into 1. I saw the Impex tool at Jelsoft's forum and seems good but i need some feedbacks about it. Is there anyone that did this?, suggestiosn, problems, ideas about it?. Thanks in advance.-
Impex is the BEST tool for the job, no questions about it. Though, before you start back up both forums (individually) just in case. Then give it a go... the worst that should happen is you fill in something wrong and have to restore & try again. There should be a few "tips" threads on both vB.com & vB.org concerning Impex, and you should likely check them out, as many of their replies will be from staff or others that have done what you have done.
thanks for the info mate, any suggestion about members? i mean: members registered on a forum A will continue posting on a main forum (forum A + forum B)?, any expirience about this? Thanks.-
I believe the problem you will face is the post ID associations and the time intervals of posts. As for VB I don't think you'll encounter any problems since it sorts posts by time. However if you're mergin VB and another forum (say PHPBB), then you may face some problems.
