Ok here's the deal:
I'm moving a forum from old hosting to a new one.
Phpbb 2.0.4 i belive it is...
If I upload the exact same files etc to the NEW hosting site,and replace the db.
WIll everything work the same way as before?

Theoratically. But you're going to need to transfer over the exact same database too.

Actually, that looking real decent! The only thing is it's still using the default phpbb look, but that is definately a nice forum there.

actually.. those db does compress reaaalll good.. is all text...
the most might be if its defualt db name can't be the same

I'm thinking the nukes might be overkill
What do u think?
Main reason i wanna change is that i find the site looks a bit too "big"
i like things small n neat

Big in what sense? that's an awfully vague statement.
