How can I transfer my IF hosting?

Ok I have a free invisionfree.com forum. For a while now I've been wanting to set up an RPG System for my members to use. One which I would customize myself to fit the theme of my site. Only problem was, I couldn't upload my own files onto Invisionfree.

Fortunately I just purchased hosting. Pretty cheap too. Though I'd like to keep my old site and just implement the RPG system with what I had. Though I don't know how I would go about doing that. I copied the first index.php page to my actual site and therefore all the links work properly when going to my domain. I would like to transfer the rest of my IF Site to my Domain site, but I couldn't even dream of doing that one page at a time especially since if I go to a single post on the forums it gives me a long complicated address.

Basically does anyone know a way for me to copy my old IF site to my new site without me having to copy each page one by one? That would be a lot of link changing. I've already sent in a support ticket to Invisionfree, but they seem to be having poor customer service lately which is part of the reason I'm transfering and paying for my own hosting. Help would be much appreciated.

 

I don't know what you use for your site editting, but if you use MS Frontpage, there is option to do that. It's pretty simple. About 5 clicks... i think.. Let me know which application you use.

 

Well with Invisionfree I just use the admin.php that's supposedly on my database. See I can't access my actual .php files I can only edit them through a cpanel-like function. Knowing that, you probably don't think it's possible do you? The only way I think I could possibly do this is if I could somehow gain access through FTP or something but I don't know if that's legal or not. I just wanted to transfer my forums without loss in information and keep all the goodies I had loaded up on there over 2 years. I'll understand if you don't think there's a way.

 

Well, as you stated, if you don't have the admin rights, it will not work. Period. FTP probably will not work because you don't have the access rights. Even if you could ftp to your new site, you still need to reconstruct hyperlinks and stuff...
I think the best way for you to go on about this is to explain your situation to the tech support and let them move it for you.
