Hi guys, I am finally going to move to SMF2 from my old smf 1.1.21 forum and am hoping to get some help.

What I plan on doing is moving my forum

http://www.racehorsetalk.com.au

to

http://forum.racehorsetalk.com.au

So I do know I need to convert the database from my old forum first right ? best way to go about this ??

Also, will there be any problems adding it to the second  forums.racehorsetalk.com.au

I will need to change the config file to point at the new sub-domain I guess, anything else of note ?

Help greatly appreciated as I would like to get this done correctly and smoothly  :)

i would suggest you do your upgrade to 2.0 first, make sure it works correctly then move to the new location and fix the paths.

What is repair_settings.php?

So there is no way to convert the database, then add that database to my SMF 2 forum ?

What I am worried about is if the upgrade doesn't work correctly and I end up with no forums :o

do a good backup and you can always restore it.
