Is there a quick way of moving all the topics and replies from one forum to another ?
I want to delete a couple of forums but don't want to lose their content so it makes sense to move the topics and replies into another existing forum but doing each individually would take ages
Is there a quick way of doing it?
Thanks

Yes I did but the warnings and 'created in a rush' swayed me away from it

You could possibly use a dbs script to do it (I'll check later but think it would be possible.
Why not simply lock the forum and leave it, not sure why you would want to delete one but keep all the posts.

It should be possible using a dbs script, but I would recommend doing a backup first 
The syntax would be something like
[UPDATE] FORUM_TOPICS
FORUM_ID#NEWFORUM_ID#FORUM_ID = OLDFORUMID [END] [UPDATE] FORUM_REPLY
FORUM_ID#NEWFORUM_ID#FORUM_ID = OLDFORUMID [END]

I have a couple of old forums showing on the default.asp page which are no longer required but which I'd like to keep the topics/posts and which will fit into another forum of similar content
I'll back up and then try the above Huw .... don't go away
