moving posts, and members

[tvkahani]

I have a 1.1.3 forum, and a 2.0 forum

i wanna move members, and posts from the former to the latter..

ive searched but cant find anything...

can anyone help?

So, you want to upgrade from SMF 1.1.13 to SMF 2. RC5?

[tvkahani]

hmmm yes this is what i want without losing posts, and members...

I installed both the forums on my host

www.tvkahani.com/forum

and

www.tvkahani.com/forums

can I move members from one forum to another OR update is the only option?
I tried reading update question but im confused.


Which file to exactly download?

[Masterd]

Upgrade the first forum and then merge the databases.

[tvkahani]

I can't merge them without upgrading the first one?

Secondly, there r 2-3 files for upgrade.. which one to exactly download?

[Masterd]

Use the Large Upgrade.

Yes, there is no way back now.

Well, there is... Wait a second. You copied both installation and upgrade files?

There is but not that super-duper easy.
