HOWTO ImpEx (Import / Export)

Here are some things to think about when doing an import and steps to follow.

First there are some things to realise :

* Testing an import before shutting down the source forum is the best way to go.
* There will probably be some residual HTML from the content that will need cleaning up afterwards, which is part of the import task and process, not a function of the support team.
* The links within the forum to other threads/posts/users will be imported, and link to the old board. A 301/404 solution will need to be put in place if that is a concern.
