XF 1.2 Final Migration Steps from vB 3.8

[caliman]

Hi all -

I have a xen beta board running 1.2.

I imported data from my vB 3.8 board originally into a XF 1.1 board. This weekend I upgraded beta board to XF 1.2.

I am curious, before I am ready to go live, can I use the XF import tool and do a final import of my live vB database? Or do I have to start over with a fresh install? Not sure if I can import again from vB.

Thanks in advance.

If you reimport, all the data will come over again. You need to start from a clean database. Paul's Importing Guideline's should help:

Thank you Jeremy. That looks like good information. I will read it carefully.

Hmmm... what about this Add-on?
