I only see an import option for xen 2 to xen 2, not xen 1 to xen 2. How do i transfer users?
Please and thank you

You could upgrade your xf1 to xf2, then import the users.

Duh. I am an idiot. lol. thanks

Okay, question. The new installation requires new admin info. When I do the import of users, will the previous admin role overwrite my new admin and it's exisitng username and password?

Not sure, probably if the user ID is the same. I think you may get a prompt about this during the import, but someone else may know more

When you upgrade from xf1 to xf2 it keeps all the user data,posts,media and resources

I just want to clarify here - do you want to upgrade your site from XF1 to XF2, or do you want to import an XF1 site into an existing XF2 site?
