Hi Everyone,

Hopefully someone can help me out.

My current live site:

vbulletin 3.6.3 w/ vbseo, custom template/modifications and plugins installed to root of

server.

New site:

Subdreamer as main page CMS

+

vbulletin 3.6.3 w/ vbseo


What I did was basically cloned the live site to the new server into a /forum folder and

then installed subdreamer into the root and everything works fine.

Once the new site is completed and ready to go live I want to overwrite the "outdated"

vb database with the one from the live site so all the threads/posts and user info is up

to date.

My question is how would I go about doing that successfully?

Also, both sites have a different theme and I don't want the one on the live site to

overwrite the new site if at all possible. I'm not sure if i'm able to pick and choose

what get's overwritten or not.:D
