Asking here because I wanted to be sure before I do something wrong.

Basically, I'm going to start a new forum and I wanted to import the users and posts from the old forum and into the new one.

Which database tables should I get? Is it mybb_forums, mybb_posts, mybb_threads, and mybb_users?
If you're about to import the posts then you should import everything related to it, including related forums (each post belongs to a thread, and each thread belongs to a forum)...
And you need to import users, so you need everything related to them too...

I advice you to import your whole database, and then upload MyBB files via FTP, make sure you edit "config.php" file that is in your "inc" folder with the correct information, and then don't install MyBB, delete the ./install folder from your website (or lock it with a "lock" file), and you're done! It should work properly... After that you can do your modifications..

But it's just hard (if it's not impossible), to import users and posts only...
