[Ryan Roos]

Sorry, at this time you can only export themes and plugins.

any chance down the road it would be added?

Your initial request isn't even all that clear.

Are you wanting to export all the data including threads and posts from your boards and categories? Or just the boards and categories themselves?

We were very clear in explaining that your Beta forum is a temporary copy. As such no actual data is going to remain at the end of beta zone.

Themes and plugins are things that need to be export/import ready. You can have many of them and turn them on and off and share them.

Your own boards and categories are completely unique to your forum (either way described above). No one else will need them. And 99.99% of the time no one will ever need to export them. People aren't moving between forums and taking their boards and categories with them regularly.

We very likely wont support this in any way. The BetaZone is temporary and really the only time people will have a duplicate situation of the same forum. After that it wont happen again.

I'm sorry about that

I was talking about just the structure
if it can't be done I understand


I thought it would be easier downloading the example structure everyone has in Beta this way anything new can just be added when we transfer over

[Ryan Roos]

Not a problem.

Hopefully with the new system you'll be able to quickly and easily replicate any board structure you may have created on your beta forum.

[Misaka]

speaking of which when will the users who signed up early for Beta be allowed to transfer over to V5?

[Ryan Roos]

That will happen when v5 launches. That's still a secret. Sorry. But it's soon. Very soon. All this testing and bug fixing is leading up to it. We're building the last few areas of the admin area this week. So it's getting close!!!
