Is there a way to copy threads and posts from one Vbulletin forum to another new vbulletin forum on another website with a new install of vb? I want to leave the original forum, as-is, but start a new one. The start-up would be more effective if I have existing posts.

Thanks,
Johnnie

You can use ImpEx to import data.

Since I am a bit of rookie at such things, does anyone know how or have done this before?

Thanks,
Johnnie

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