Full Version: Which table for categories?

So I am about to reinstall MyBB and been working for like 8 hours now as a complete noob about databases, and finally got a way I can export the tables and put them in to the new one and it seem to work alright. I got the users etc.

Problem though, is that in the forum I got all the threads, but not all the categories and forums.

I have those tables


MyBB_forums
MyBB_forumsread
MyBB_privatemessages
MyBB_posts
MyBB_threads
MyBB_threadsread
MyBB_threadviews
MyBB_users


What more do I need for the categories etc? I just have the first category with 2 forums in it.
mybb_forums contains both the categories and the forums.
Ah, you were right!
I just tried to add a forum in the admin CP and when I added it, everything updated and I got all the forums showing up. Awesome!
Thanks!
for a bit of additional info, in the mybb_forums table, the "type" field is either 'f' or 'c' for forum and category, and the "parentlist" field shows the nesting order
