impex is the easiest way

I would advice against moving the forum at all, and concentrate on fixing your problems instead. You say that you want to keep the Style, but it is the style that is most likely the cause of the broken links.

its not style i want to keep its just forum posts and section lists. and i want to keep members. its just i have hacks that i cant uninstall cause when i tried one it shut site right down due to something with global file. so is impex only way?

Then use ImpEx, it's the easiest of all ways, it even has a GUI for you...

I still stand by my previous suggestion: concentrate on fixing your problems
