The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

Is there a tool or easy method for copying all of the admin/forum settings from an existing board to a new installation? In otherwords, I may install a new forum on another website, but would like to instantly set all of the admin settings to match my existing site? Any way to do this?

Thanks,
Johnnie

I don't have access to my forum atm as we're currently moving servers but:
You could just copy the related database tables. All the settings are stored in the database, so just export user, usergroup etc. Then import them into your new forum database.

Copying related tables will not work and might even leave your installation unusable.

If you only want to transfer the settings (vB Options), then there is an export/import option. If you open the vB Options in the AdminCP you will see a link to backup/restore settings.
