De.scription and Message

Hello Everybody,

I have got my board up and running just the way I like it, but it took me a long time to figurte out the right settings to get it just the way I like them.

Now I want to start another board and all the settings must be the same as my current board.

I was wondering if there is a way to copy my current board and start a new board in that copy.
I have no problem with manually erasing all the messages, Photoalbums en users, just as long if I donÂÂÂ ´t need to spend a few days figuring out the right settings again.

Greeting,

hb75

Hi

Simple way to do this would be to copy all the files to the new folder and then copy your database and load it into another database calling it something different....

The open up your config file and do all the necessary change so it points to the correct database...

then you need to go into your database (the new one) find the config table and click on browse then find .script_path and change it to the correct path of your forum ....

that should be it ...then change everything else to suit...
