    Hi,

    I’ve been searching for a solution to this, and haven’t found anything yet.

    I have 2 EE systems and want to merge them.  I need to export the users from one, and import them into the other.  More importantly, I want to move the discussion forum content over as well.

    Is there a way to export all that content, and magically link it back up with the proper users?

    Thanks,
    Mark

    There is no way to do that automagically, I am afraid. Your best bet is probably to export data from one installation, and import it to the other one.

    Thanks.  I’ll look into that.

    I got the users moved over (which was quite the chore.)  I had one user with an accent in their screen name, and than caused the XML importer to fail… talk about trying to find a needle!
