Copying User Data To A New Board

[ateman]

YaBB SE Version: 1.5.2 to 1.5.4
Server Platform: Unix, Linux, or BSD
Link to Forum: http://www.wormtownnightlife.com/wnlforum

Problem Description:
Ok, so I am no SQL whiz...and this being the case I have installed and done most of my YabbSE tweaking using the turnkey installation tools provided by my host.

I was a long time user of yabb forum (using flat files and cgi) and when I saw the quick install of YabbSE I jumped on and converted right away and am now fully functional with the MySQL backed YabbSE.

What I am doing now is opening another domain where a similar forum will exist (I run a series of nightlife guide websites in different cities) and I want to copy the forum information from domain A over to the forum on domain B, or at the very least, the member names, profiles, and password information so that the users of forum A can jump right into forum B and start using it without re-registering.

anyone know anything about this or an easy way to copy this information over?

Thanks

Either install a new board, import the old DB and delete all the posts you don't want or install the new board and just import the relevant tables from a backup of the old DB (be prepared to click 'Recount All Board Totals' as necessary).
