Search turned up nothing. We imported our forums from UBB.Classic and are on Threads 6.3.2. Upon import, Threads assigned the individual forums alphanumeric keywords, the # of the forum under Classic - ie UBB11, UBB94.

Can I change these to something more meanignful? If so, how? and what do I need to be aware of before doing this?

I know new forums allow me to assign a keyword, is creating new forums and mass moving everything on a forum-by-forum basis a worst-case option?

Thanks for any help.

Well one could always mass move threads to a new forum

But then I do not know if that runs all the queries necessary to update all the tables or not.

Basically if you wanted to change a board to a new keyword you would need to do the following commands.

Lets say you wanted to change board UBB5 to Announcements

UPDATE w3t_Last SET L_Board='Announcements' WHERE L_Board='UBB5'

UPDATE w3t_Boards SET Bo_Keyword='Announcements' WHERE Bo_Keyword='UBB5'

UPDATE w3t_Moderators SET Mod_Board='Announcements' WHERE Mod_Board='UBB5'

UPDATE w3t_Posts SET B_Board='Announcements' WHERE B_Board='UBB5'

UPDATE w3t_Subscribe SET S_Board='Announcements' WHERE S_Board='UBB5'

Now I think I got them all but with anything when you modify your database backup before you try this
