vbnautilus Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I have a largish v3.4 forum. We tried upgrading to 4.0 a while back but it didn't go so well -- many threads were crashing etc. and we went back to the old version after users complained. My ibf_posts table is ~500MB and It took forever to convert all of the old posts. What I would like to do is to keep our 3.4 forum as a kind of archive, and start fresh with 4.1. So, a new 4.1 board with no posts, but carrying over member logins/avatars/reputation, etc. Any ideas on what the best way to do that would be?

Rhett Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I would recommend submitting a support ticket and we can assist you with a proper normal upgrade, keeping a second site would also require a second license, even if it's for archive, as long as it's available on the internet it would need it's own license. We can assist you in a proper upgrade though, you can submit a support ticket in the client area here under your licensed account https://www.invisionpower.com/clientarea 500mb post table is very small so this shouldn't take much time as well.

vbnautilus Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Well it took quite a while last time. I guess that probably depends on server resources. Our current board has become unbearably slow, hence the desire to unload some posts. Anyways, requiring a second license certainly throws the weight towards just converting the whole thing, so I guess I'll just try that again. Thanks.
