How can I merge two different forums?

[Babelle]

Hello

I have two forums, the old one is tweet http://tweet.netboards.org and it's basically dead, but it has over 8,500 members.
I want the members to be joined into the new version of tweet- http://fudgeforums.tk .
They are both from different forum hosts though.
I'm rubbish at forum coding and adding, etc
Does anyone have a simple at of doing it- or can I do it at all?
If It can be done, could anyone else do it for me?

Thanks

Daisy

How are they hosted? Forum or cPanel?

I don't know- tweet is phpBB default, and so is Fudge, they are forums. I told you, I'm rubbish at forum codes and software.

Just looked and you can't as you don't have backup access or anything.

Convert your forums to SMF or PhpBB using the converters here (if it doesn't work, if you don't know which one to use, or if there isn't a converter for your software, then speak to nneoneo):
http://www.simplemachines.org/community ... msg1215281
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=1761395

Then use this this set up a MyBB forum that combines your newly converted forums:

How do they convert when they don't have backup, database or the files?

Perhaps you should read the converter topics.

 

[Babelle]

Thank for the topics.
I'm very confused though, and I'm not sure how to install, as my laptop won't allow it.

 

[fantanoice]

What exactly isn't it allowing?

 

[Babelle]

It's basically running on two wires and a memory stick, due to a virus attack that destroyed the laptop.
I can't install anything or it will just completely break down.
I just want tweet forum to be inside fudge, so I have over 8.5k members on fudge.

Well they are both phpBB forums already but you don't have access to databases so it would be hard.

Okay I am stumped.

 

[Babelle]

Is there any way to transfer tweet into fudge, or at least the members?

Unfortunately since you are free hosted and don't know much about the back end/installing forum softwares, this is going to be difficult or "out of your league"

You might want to get started on custom hosting though - you needn't install anything on your computer, you're installing it onto a server instead of your computer. There are loads of guides available for how to get started 😉

Well thank you for your help everyone.
I'll close the topic
