Hey guys,

Just a quick question? I have an old database from my forum a while back, and I want to import it to my new mybb forum.
Can someone please let me know the best way to do this?

Thank you.
Best way is that, you log in your phpMyAdmin in your Cpanel and go to database of forum and go to IMPORT and select your database that's it Smile
So it will rewrite everything over whats there?
Better solution is to delete everything you have and to import new one. Because if you overwritte everyhing you can have some problems.
If you want to merge two forums together you can use the Merge System.

They are both mybb, so I can still use the merge system?

You can convert two MyBB forums together, yes.
