I really hope this was the appropriate place for me to post with this question, I hadn't been able to come across an answer elsewhere so...

What I am attempting to do is move my users from the old gallery to the new one so I won't have to lose them or cause them any trouble having to re-register (and at over 2,500 users, you can probably see why I feel this way)

Just to give you a bit of background info in case you are interested..
I was recently having trouble with my gallery and both myself and my host are at a loss to figure out a correct problem, I am assuming it is the host though considering I have had enough experience with these galleries to realize it wasn't in the configuration or installation process. Anyways, since there was no definite reasoning I would prefer not to move the gallery through the database - in case there was some sort of glitch - which could possibly not solve my current problem. I would much rather re-create the gallery, and move the pictures manually. The only problem, as I stated above, is that I would really like to somehow be able to transfer my users over to the new one. Is this possible under any circumstance? Is there a file perhaps that I could transfer?

Thank you for ANY help! :)

Users are stored in the database, so you can copy the users table using phpmyadmin. Would be a better idea to try to solve the actual problem though.

Thanks for that...I suppose I'll look into the problem a bit more then just transfer the database entirely if that wasn't the original problem. :)
