I have an established simple press forum on a wordpress site. Can I export the member data, posts etc and move that to another wordpress site with a fresh install of simple press?

No, we dont have an explicit export function...   also, remember the member data is part of wordpress...  but you could copy all the simple press tables (plus the wp user and usermeta tables) and move to another site...

FYI Jim: You can do this if you have access to PHP MyAdmin for managing your WordPress database. All the SimplePress tables will have names including "_sf" in them. like wp_sfforums, wp_sfgroups, wp_sftopics, etc. Depending on how many SimplePress plugins you have activated, you may have more than 30 tables, so be sure to export them all!

See the WordPress codex for detailed steps to backup WordPress database tables.
