Backup:
mysqldump --databases source_db_name > backup.sql

Load new database:
mysqladmin create new_db_name
mysql new_db_name < backup.sql

There probably isn't an importer because its easier to use the database commands when there is no data reformatting.

For the record. I saw Brogans post that you are confused with and it clearly stated their was no importer and the only way to do it directly (without ipb etc) was to copy database manually (which wouldn't be importing in the XenForo sense because you would have to remove all data before hand).

And on the topic. It really wouldn't be hard to make a XenForo importer... much easier than making one for other software. You just need someone with time to make one.

Just saying to all of the people saying just export the database and import it, I believe the OP means merging two different XenForo forums.

Correct. Two different xenforo forums.

As I posted yesterday, this is not something which is currently supported by XenForo and a direct third party importer doesn't exist.

If IPB, vB or phpBB have an importer for XenForo, then that is currently the only way of doing it.

XenForo 1 -> IPB/vB/phpBB -> XenForo 2

Oh my... Xenforo 2

My heart skipped a beat here
