Man I just read everthing I didnt think it was going to be that much of a pain...

I have moved both my own sites and other sites with out any major issues at all, if you make complete backups and follow the steps, you should not run into problems at all. So the first step is to relax, take a good look at what you have to move, then make COMPLETE backups of both DB and files. (DB through phpmyadmin) and files through FTP. Then put all the files as they are into the new directory or server, import the DB into your new database and use the repair_settings.php file from simplemachines.org downloadsection/tools, and you should have every thing working just like before.

actually, if you are moving to a different folder on the same server, you do not have to worry about the database at all.
Make a Backup of the files and database,
cut and paste files to new location,
run repair_settings.php to point to your new files
go to your site, visit admin to ensure that all theme url's are also changed.

Thats it!

Alright i tried to delete my smf_member and in the new one and I get this?
Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (latin1_general_ci,IMPLICIT) for operation 'ifnull'

Why did you try to delete that?

[wickedstangs]

I am just trying to move all my members to my new forum. From reading all the inputs I thought that is how you do it.

A simple export of your database from the Admin panel of SMF should be fine. And then a simple import of the database through a tool such as phpMyAdmin will put all the data back in.

You can use the tools to do the same thing. (I prefer these).

seriously - if you are moving directories on the same server - LEAVE THE DB ALONE!
