Title: Upload YabbSE data to SMF RC1.1
Post by: FredG on December 16, 2005, 01:21:12 AM
I have a new SMF installation on a new provider host.  My old YabbSE systems is still available, but I really don't want to use the upgrade tool, as it does not seem applicable.

How does one go about taking the old Yabb SE threads/user info and converting just the data to SMF?

Thanks in advance.

Download the "upgrade" package from the downloads page. Delete all your old YaBB SE files and directories except the following:

template.php and YaBBImages (if you have a custom theme you want to keep)
the attachments directory
Settings.php

Then, upload all the files from the "upgrade" package to your server and run upgrade.php. This will upgrade your YaBB SE board to SMF.
