importing forums, groups and posts

Hi, I’m moving hosts and currently working on a test-site to get everything working before I flip the switch. I have the Simple:Press Core up and running on the test site, my 900 members were successfully imported. However the forum is empty with only sample content. None of the forums, groups or posts from the past 5 years have appeared. Is there something wrong with my install, or do I need to switch something on? Considering my members exist in the test-site, could it be safe to just copy a sp content directory from my live site to the test site?

cheers!

Sounds like you haver not moved the data tables from the old database to the new.
