I have two things which are going to need to be completed in the next couple weeks.
A) I need to upgrade from B4 to RC1. As usual, I haven't done this because I have a lot of mods installed and just don't have the time to do the edits in order to add them all back again, but I will in a couple weeks.
B) My forum is changing its domain name. We are expanding and I don't want to lose my members and posts and things, so I'm hopeful you can switch domains without having to start all over from a barren forum.
So, my questions are:
1) Can I keep my forum database and forum files and switch to a different domain name?
2) If it is possible, which should I do first? The upgrade to RC1 or the domain switch?
I suggest the upgrade before the server switch, it will work anyways, but I'd upgrade first :)
...and yes, you can restore your database along will all forum files on the new host.
