We're converting from an SMF board to a vb 3.7.3 board. I've installed PhotoPost 2.4.3 into a new folder for my new forum that we're trying to get released. The old forum and gallery are in my "forum" subdirectory. My new forum and gallery are to be in the "forums" folder. Once the new forum is up, the old forum will be blown away.

Anyway, the old forum and gallery both use the same database. The new forum has it's own DB. However, my old install of the gallery has tables in the old forums DB, which I don't want to lose. I didn't see a way upon installing to specify a previous photopost database so it can import the info.

Is there a way to do this import so I don't have to frustrate my users by getting them to recereate their galleries?

Thanks!
