I'm trying to find info for a friend in a jam. He needs to transfer all data from one ikonboard to another and has be told he can't transfer the posts/threads. I think I've heard you can.

What about?

From one IKONBOARD to another IKONBOARD.

then you should of said that

well its a flat file database, so i think you could manualy do it, but too much work

shouldnt be to hard to write a script, mabey you should go from ikon to invision

It would help if you read the question iso.

OK, is there someone who knows how to do this?

so actually he wants to transfer his whole board content to another host?

if all content is kept in a mysql database, he can save it using phpmyadmin as a *.sql file and then re-upload this *.sql with myphpadmin on his new host

Depends on what installation he did. if he did mysql installation then your post is correct or if he did it flat then its not correct.
