We have installed Xenforo in preparation for moving from a vBulletin forum. I learned, after the fact, to save a copy of the dB before importing. Oops. I now have a test install with 141 members and 60,000 posts. What compounds this is we will have to manually bring in a bunch of Media and Blog Articles, which I also have already done.
Is it possible to delete all the posts and members to get a clean dB to work from or have I screwed the pooch and need to start all over to get that clean dB?
We had hoped to use this sequence in our conversion:
Any suggestions. If I have to do it all over, so be it, but I am not sure what I can do when and still have as seamless a conversion as possible.
Thanks for any ideas
Paul

We had hoped to use this sequence in our conversion:
- Put up a new Xenforo site, behind the scenes and get it set up for use
- Manually add the media to the gallery
- Manually add the articles into the forum
- Shutdown the vBulletin forum for conversion
- Import vBulletin details
- Open new Xenforo site, moving it from the sub-folder to our root folder.
Any suggestions. If I have to do it all over, so be it, but I am not sure what I can do when and still have as seamless a conversion as possible.
Thanks for any ideas
