Howdy all,

This weekend I plan on moving my forums. And because of the sheer size of it I was wondering if there is a way that I can just move the users over and leave everything else on the old server. Would it be possible for me to backup the user table and just put it on the new server with a freshly installed vbulletin and what problems would I be looking at if I went this route?

In your Admincp, at the bottom in import and maintainence, you can do a database backup and store the entire database on your local drive.

Alternative, you can just select the user table. Though, if you have any special usergroups outside of the default ones in use, those users in those groups would have invalid usergroupid's.

As for any other troubles you might have, I don't know. Using any custom permissions of any sort with your users that store in that part of the database will result in invalids...so if you do decide to do it that way, you should probably make sure everyoen is using default vb settings.

Hope that helps a bit.
