Have a SMF 2.0 RC 3 forum, got new URL, new SMF forum, all set up. How can I move all posts from old SMF to new SMF forum? Both are 2.0 RC 3

Download the database from the old SMF forum,and restore it to the new one.

You will need to make sure your forum is connecting to the right database. You can do you by using repair_settings.php. (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=663.0) Also make sure to fix the paths using that tool.
