Hi! I'm brazilian, so I dont speak english well. But, whatever... I have a web forum and It was made on Invision Free, so they don't give me the back up of my forum! But I know that someone of anyway got the back up!! <_< <_< So, I want to know if someone can help me to get my back up to change my forum from Invision free to Invision Power Board! Thx 4 all... And sorry my bad english! xD
InvisionFree is a free service using only IPB 1.3. Since IPB 1.3 was free at one point, they can use that. IF is only a host for your IPB 1.3, and if you want to use anything other that IPB 1.3, you must purchase it from the Invision Board website. Liscenses run about 70 dollars a year. You must then get your own host, probably one that you have to pay for, and upload the files that Invision lets you download with your liscense. InvisionFree is far easier though
It's exactly what I think! I know something about you said! xD And I thank you. But I really want to know how can I get my backup! I will really purchase the IPB 3, but for it, I want to have all my members, posts, etc. Thx for your atention!
you would need access to the MySQL database that Invision Free uses, which they dont give (im pretty sure, never used it.) So, unless they allow you access to your database, then you cant get it. another alternative is to ask for them to give you a few SQL files with all the SQL information that you can upload to another database. But i do not know invision free's policy.
