I was using the same database.
Users were already in WordPress, because it was the same installation, so the users could continue using the new forum without problems.
I ended up just installing the new version… This gave me new tables for a brand new forum.
When the new forum was installed, it included an ‘Import Forum’ tool that I pointed at the old forum tables and everything got moved correctly. So I am running the new forum now 😀
OK, so what happens when I install 2.1.2 on top of 1.0.2?
Will my data be available in 2.1.2? Or will it clear everything out?
When using the same database for 1.0.2 and 2.1.2, will this work? Does version 2.1.2 use different tables, so I can import from the 1.0.2 tables?
OK, so you tried installing 2.1.2 on top of the old 1.x version and the posts did not come over?
Hopefully someone will answer us and let us know what our options are.
