MyBB Community Forums

Hey guys,

To keep downtime to a minimum I decided I would develop a 1.8 forum separately from the 1.6 that I have and when I am ready with a new template I would just move over the database. Here are my questions:


Is there a tool where I can just convert the database to 1.8 or do I have to use the merger system, upgrade the old forum then port the database over?

If possible what is the tool called?

If not are there any better ways?


Cheers for your help guys,
Eloquence

Once your theme etc is ready to port over then you can just upgrade your existing forum using the upgrade script.

Sounds great thanks for the reply.
