Description of problem

When the forum was first created I recall something about forum data transfer but cannot see this once forum is created. I have "3474751_admin_conversations_dataCSV" backup data from the previous forum host, I was admin of for seven years. I also data saved via "Website Copier" in a folder. Question is can I upload the 1000 or so topics with 20 000 posts into this new forum or do I have to just start manually copy and past my posts over from my portable harddrive. It will take many months to do so or can I zip file data over into main boards and then manually sort before opening up the forum for public viewing. Thankyou in advance regards.

Thankyou "SLGray"
I'll check your link out and give it a go within the next few days and report back/progress, kind regards

STEP 1: You have a self-hosted forum (phpBB, Invision or PunBB)
This is my old site that after 7 years got taken down
http://onehalfgram.freeforums.net/

I only have backed up data "3474751_admin_conversations_data.csv"
or the site saved from "Website Copier" in a folder.

STEP 2: Get the dump of the database
I've created the new site already, with about a hundred boards/topics
https://onehalfgram.forumotion.com/

Question is;
I can't see in the admin panel "phpMyAdmin" of the new site where I could try to import the
"3474751_admin_conversations_data.csv"
"Website Copier" in a folder
Or is this only able to be done/made when the new forum is being created/registered?
Meaning I should forget about the work I've done on the new forum
https://onehalfgram.forumotion.com/
and start over again? Thanks in advance, I feel silly not fully understanding how to go about this, looking forward to your advice/expertise

Hello,

You cannot import information from other company onto Forumotion forums, nor the other way round. This is now a new forum where you'll have to start all over again unfortunately.

Regards,
TC.

Ok sorry, I'll have to just use my text files from my portable harddrive and fill up the categories that way, will take some time, thankyou for all your help, this topic is now resolved.
