I am wondering on if there is a method to copy the user base to a fresh install. I am thinking maybe in the old instance create new categories to house the topics that are desired to copy to the new install.

Then on the original forum. I would like to copy certain topics not all of them to the new forum.

I do apologize if this is covered, but onna quick search wasn’t having much success.
