When I get home tonight I'm going to download the mybb software and the merge software. These have to be uploaded to the host?
Correct.
Quote:The backup that is being mentioned, what is this exactly? Without it I can't merge over threads and posts? Or members?
The database backup was for the purposes of taking your forum to whatever host you wished. You don't need it if you're going to stay on Hostgator.
Quote:Another question...I've done link exchanges with similar sites and submitted my forum to several search engines. I'm going to have to do all of this over again?lol
Unfortunately yes
