1- Make it work with quotes, formatted text and special characters
2- I have another problem. Sometimes some new posts appear trimmed too. I don't know why but it happens. Any idea how can I resolve this?

As for #1; do you have a link to your forum so I can see what you mean?
As for #2; new postings on SMF, postings which don't exist in the old database?

Hi everyone!
I'm having some issues with the converter. The transfer is between phpBB 3.0.8 and SMF 2.0.2. Most of the content converts successfully, posts seem to be the problem. This is the error that gets displayed:
Converting posts...You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ORDER BY null' at line 203
I saw in the errors thread a similar one but couldn't find the mentioned code in convert.php
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hey guys, I need to do a conversion from Phpbb3 to SMF2 and I just want to make sure I have understood the process correctly.
Correct me if I'm wrong please :)
The older Phpbb3 database I am transferring is on a seperate host to the SMF installation / databse.
1> Install a fresh phpbb3 install to the same host as the SMF database.
2> Aquire the mysql backup of the phpbb3 installation (from the older seperate host) and import it into the new phpbb3 database
3> Now both forums are on same host / database, upload the convert.php file to the root of the SMF forum
4> navigate to convert.php to begin process
5> profit?
Thanks in advance
