what about the idea of doing a data dump of the old and then importing to the new? If the data is "corrupt" in the old, will I be corrupting the new forum? Will the data dump or import process insure "data integrity?" And no, I can't define what "corrupt" means in this situation; I have to rely on you for that.

yes, I could just install over the old. But once again, I'm just a little nervous about this mysql database. I think I would just like to delete ALL the tables manually and let the new install create the ones it needs. That way I won't wonder if something from the old somehow found it's way into the new.

I will upgrade the old to 2.3.3, do the data dump then install a new 2.3.3

Thanks!
