I'm in the middle of moving my forum to a new domain name / hosting service. I've copied across the Boards and the Members and they all work fine but when I copy across the messages and do re-build board, none of the messages show up in the forum.

Any ideas?

The old board is vesion 10.1 and the new one is 10.3.3.

Hmm ... did you upload EVERYTHING in ASCII?


I do installs for $25 and upgrades for $20.

Some of the messages have shown up but other topics still say 0 messages.
Is there a list of directories / files that you can supply that I need to copy across?

Currently I have copied the directories Boards, Members and Messages.

thanks

Boards, Members, Messages, Prefs need to be copied over.
