Is there a simple way to export and then import users?
I just want to move my installation to another server. Using the import/export feature is fine for my own posts, but is there a smple way to do it for the users?
Also, is there a way to do an entire site wide import/export? So all the users sites can be added again?

As a result of the new BPress 1.1.1, we are thinking of making a hosting change. It doesn't seem as simple as zipping up the file and uploading it to the new server. Where can I go for help?
1) move the files
2) move the database (export/import via PHPMyAdmin)
3) update the db details in wp-config.php on the new server.
Note that if you're moving from a cPanel based host to another cPanel based host then you can just do a cPanel export import and not worry about a thing.
If you're not comfortable handling the above then I'd just hire someone to move the site.

Hiya,
If you're just moving servers then why not copy over the db?
Thanks,
Andrew

Really you just need to:
1) move the files
2) move the database (export/import via PHPMyAdmin)
3) update the db details in wp-config.php on the new server.
