I had a forum that was set up nicely and decided to import another forum into it, so both lifes could co-exist of each other on the fame forum.

So I've imported the new forum (mybb) and in the process it's delete the most of the previous forums apart from 1 category.

I have a backup, but what should I do?

Restore the backup?

Was ImpEx used before on the target board?

I've restored a backup to the forum, and yes Marco, ImpEx was used on the target board before, (same forum software actually)

Then make sure to read this part of the manual: Multiple imports.

You must ensure the previous ImpEx session is finalized or all the imported data from the first import will be removed once you start ImpEx again.

Thanks Marco, you're a star!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
