Right now I am running an invision power board on my site for my star wars galaxies player assoiation. Currently, a friend of mine in the PA, is in the process of registering a domain for our PA and setting up our board on the new domain. He's going to probably be hosting here at TCH (thanks to my recommendations <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Hi,<br /><br />yes there is an its very easy. Infact there are many ways of doing it. To find the best one for you goto:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.invisionpower.com/documentation/ipb/" target="_blank">http://www.invisionpower.com/documentation/ipb/</a> and look under FAQ. Then select "Backup and restore" where you can find a few options which you can work your way through and decide on the best ones<br /><br />Jim<!--content-->
Thanks. That worked almost perfectly. Just one quick note, if you have a custom skin installed that everyone is using, make sure you install that skin first before you move over the DB. <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /><!--content-->
