For the moment we use the latest version of phpbb. But now we want to change our forumsoft to smf  :D
I have installed smf aready a few times in een test directoy to change the template, and try to import the database from phpbb and it works fine.

But now we want to change for real and here's the problem. phpbb in installed in /forum and i want to install smf in /forum. What is the best way?
first install in /smf and then transfer? Or can i delete phpbb and only keep the avatars and smilies?

Indeed, I would suggest first installing in /smf, and then moving it.  To move it, you'll want to use repair_settings.php.

What is repair_settings.php?

Make sure you backup phpBB before deleting it ;).  Backups are like apples, but they keep more than just the doctor away.
