Hi, I am currently trying to move my forum to a different host, can I take the downloaded backup and revert to it in my new forum somehow? I have already got the backupfile downloaded but I don't know how to bring it up and use it to transfer all the information to the new forum. How do i do it? Any help and advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Login to phpMyAdmin and click import database. Then edit config.php and make the necessary changes.
Edit: If the database is to big to import it phpMyAdmin, use
Big Dump
okay,... exactly what changes, and is it ok if i do it even though my old one is 1.2.9 and my new one is MyBB 1.2.10? Wheres the import database button? IN PHPMYADMIN?

Yes sir.
Well, when you moved to your new host, you had to make a new database. If it uses the same host, username and password as your old one, then you don't have to make any changes. But if it uses a different host, username, or password, then you must edit config.php so it connects to the database correctly.
Okay, so edit the host username and password, NP - wheres the import database link in phpmyadmin? And does it make a difference that i'm going from 1.2.9 to 1.1.10?

Nope it doesn't make a difference.
And to import it, select the database on the left menu, and then click import
