Thank you, I haven't known the English meaning of "unite", so I couldn't search it.

Ok, no problem.

If this is solved feel free to mark it as solved.

Actually it isn't solved, because I don't understand exactly how to unite two forums (topic, msg, members), yet.

Well those two links will tell you how to connect to together, which is easier.

If you want to make them all one database, you can run this script

The success rate is not high, but it has been reported to work. You will need to ask the author of that if you need help with it.

Let us know how it works. :)

Make sure both forums are the forum version.

OK, I understand that. For example both forums should be SMF RC3, right? :)

You should ask the script's creator at their forum. I'm not really sure if there is much else to do except make the needed edits yourself.(which is very time consuming) :(
