Forum Shuffle Help
The first two columns on the left side of the 
screen show the current ordering of the forums in 
your system.  The two columns on the right side 
of the screen show what the new ordering will be 
after making the changes you've requested.  In 
the center of the screen is a column of forum 
numbers that you can change.  This column of 
number is associated with the forum names at the 
left.  

Go down the center column of numbers changing the 
numbers to reflect the new forum number you want 
for each of the forums at the left.  As you make 
the changes, the column of forums at the right 
will be updated to reflect each change.  When 
you've finished making all the changes, the 
column on the right will indicate the new order of 
the forums.

When you're in the middle of your changes, the 
column of forums at the right may look totally 
screwed up.  Don't panic!  Wait till you've 
finished entering ALL the new forum numbers and 
THEN check the righthand column.  If it still 
looks screwed up, then go ahead and panic. (Just 
kidding, though you probably should abort the 
process by pressing ESC and indicating you do NOT 
want to make the changes.)

When you've finished making all the changes, 
press ESC or click on the box in the upper left 
of the window with your mouse.  You will then be 
asked if you want to go ahead and make the 
changes you've just entered.  If you select Yes, 
all the necessary files will be updated to reflect 
the new forum ordering.  Be forewarned, this may 
take anywhere from a few minutes to upwards of an 
hour depending on the speed of your systems, the 
number of forums you have, and the number of users 
registered in those forums.  A LOT of data has to 
be reorganized.  Once you start the process 
there's no stopping it, so if you have any doubts, 
select No when asked if you want to proceed.  As 
the update proceeds, you will be shown a status 
screen so you have some idea how far along things 
are.
