New forum, created 25 user accounts and need to copy PWs, help!
 

I have a forum that I'm transferring to a new host and domain. I have an existing forum (www.dcswing.com) with only about 25 actual users and a small number of posts. I created a new forum at the new domain and created those 25 user accounts and copied the e-mail addresses.

My question is, how do I retrieve the passwords and copy them to the new forum as well? Jake Bunce from vBulletin.com had a suggestion, listed below:
How would I do this? Or, is there another way I can get the passwords over to the new forum, or disable the need for a password so the users can log in and reset it themselves?

Thanks,
David

why not just use ImpEx to import your user accounts to the target forum?

Is it really that easy? I read the tutorials and it seems pretty daunting... I don't know much about this stuff.

Could someone explain how it works in a nutshell?

yes, it is that easy. in a nutshell, it transfers data from one forum to another.

You need to copy over the password and salt fields from the user table on the old forum to the user table on the new forum.
