Migrating Database from PHPBB2 to Simple Machines

[simonkiedyk]

Hello!

I *really* like this forums script, and since my World of Warcraft guild has been using PHPBB2 for a pretty long time now, I would really love to switch them to these forums but I don't want to loose all of the posts and member accounts.

Is there a way to migrate the database file from PhPBB to SimpleMachines so that people don't need to create new accounts, etc.? I know the structure is completely different and all, but I would really love to make the switch.

Please advise. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Take a look at the Converters and Importers board.

You welcome.  Also the search feature is really good if you ever come across a problem.  If you couldn't find the result you wanted make a post.  If the search is ever down use the "entire site" search. 

p.s. welcome to the forums

Ah yes, great suggestion. Well I hope this converter works well and I can start using SMF all the time, looks like a terrific script!
