CreateMyBB Database Import
|
We want to make your transition to your new CreateMyBB forum to be as easy as possible. To help achieve this, we provide a service that lets you import an existing MyBulletinBoard 1.1.x database free of charge. Read on for more details on the easy and smooth way to move to CreateMyBB.
|
Requirements
|
- You must have previously been running MyBB 1.1.x. We will NOT upgrade your forum so it can work with CreateMyBB.
- You must be able to somehow export your database from your previous host (for example, through phpMyAdmin)
|
What Will NOT Be Transferred?
|
- Attachments will not be transferred over. You will have to reupload all of your attachments.
- Your previous board settings will not be transferred over. You will have to recreate your settings in the Admin CP.
- Modifications/plugins may not work once your board has been transferred to CreateMyBB.
|
Transfer Service
|
If you need assistance in transferring your board, we offer a transfer service for a price. These charges only apply if you need help getting your existing database from your existing forum.
The current going rate for the transfer service is a $5 initial fee and $1 for every 100 posts.
|
Import Instructions
|
- First you need to create your CreateMyBB forum. To do this, visit the Create Your Forum page and create your forum. Once it has been created, any posts you make in it will be lost when we import your previous database.
- Next, go into the Admin Control Panel of your new forum and go to the "Support Tickets" page under "CreateMyBB Network"
- Select the "Import" department.
- Enter the details required (your email address, new forum URL, and the URL to your current non-CreateMyBB forum)
- In the message box, simply state that you would like to have your MyBB forum imported. If you would like the transfer service, please request that too.
- A support team representative will reply to your support ticket as soon as possible, giving you instructions on retrieving your current database. If you requested the transfer service, the support team representative will also ask for the details needed to retrieve your database and will explain the methods of payment for the transfer service.
- Once the import is complete, you will be notified via your support ticket. If you have any further problems, do not hesitate to open a new support ticket.
