Howdy all!
I am getting ready to re-skin my forum. The "Current" forum is heavily customized. I'd like to create a "New Test" forum to make sure it works before going live.
The question I have is how do I go about copying the current working forum, and re-skinning it, and then testing it?
Should I create a new forum. Copy all the files of the "Current" to it and then work from there?
What about viewing the changes? can I just set one user to see the new forum?
thanks for all the help!
Jay

You can do a forum data dump, then install a fresh copy of the forum and import the data dump into it. The end result would be an identical copy of your existing forum.

So I can run this in a different directory till I get the skin finished, and then data dump it back into a tar ball. Go to the live Forums and overwrite? Does that sound correct to you?
