just make a complete backup of your forum with all it' content, and the same with your database.
( i did two backups on both just incase some file didnt transfer correct)

Then upload it to your new host and import the database and you will have the exact same as it were before you changed servers  :)

You have to set the new database paths and forum paths in the settings.php file in the forum root dir.
If you changed host, my guess is that the paths are diffrent from the other host. maby even new name ?

You need a FULL Backup .. make that with MyPhpAdmin. SMF Backup only holds sms Tables ...

After that, modify all URL and Path entrys in the DB-Backup before restore at the new server.

Feline, I do believe in the latest release of TP Bloc renamed the tables with the SMF prefix so that they would backup with SMF.
