I have two boards that share users. ID 1 and 2. What is the easiest way to move all the topics and forums over to ID #1?

I tried changing any reference to BoardID 2 to 1 but that didnt turn out so well.

** EDIT ** I changed just the category ID from 2 to 1 and now trying to manually edit access

I am running YAF 1.9.6 BETA 1 on server 2008 R2 with SQL server 2008 R2 sp1 installed.

Ok I tried but no luck. Has anyone every tried to do this before? Do you have specific steps or even a SQL script I can run?

I do not understand enough of the SQL structure to keep guessing. If I change the Yaf_Category table's BoardID column to all 1's I can view the boards in the "Forums" section of the admin panel and edit the permissions. However another admin cannot edit those forums...he gets logged out. The next problem is once I edit the permissions I can view the forum on the home page but the poster's information is missing and once I click on the thread/topic I get an error.

I hope I am not the first person to have to merge two forums together. Any advise would be most welcome at this point!

Has anyone figured out how to do this? All of my attempts have failed.
