how can I merge two forums topics to one forum?
my current board has 6 forums, and I want to merge two of them, I can not move the topics one by one cause there are more than 200 topics in each forum,
is there any solution for this issue?

The most simple way is to update the database with SQL commands like:

update minibbtable_topics set forum_id=CURRENT_FORUM_ID where forum_id=MERGING_FORUM_ID;

update minibbtable_posts set forum_id=CURRENT_FORUM_ID where forum_id=MERGING_FORUM_ID;

For example, if you have a forum A, and you want to move all topics to forum B, then A will stand for MERGING_FORUM_ID and B is for CURRENT_FORUM_ID.
