thanks for fast help, but it makes no change, still no threads, i just looked in the DB with myphp_admin, actually the DB table: messages -  is 0,  the smilies are there in the table, and i put them via ftp in the smilies_dafault_directorie, so the are okay now,

also - all the avatars are there, but most important thing - the threads are missing

as i notice above - i brought  the avatars by hand, so no problem vor them, also the smylies are there

then i dont convert attachments - because i do not have any

i used this converter:
phpbb2_to_smf.php (August 04, 2005) Convert phpBB to SMF. Tested with phpBB 2.0.7.

http://www.simplemachines.org/download.php/phpbb2_to_smf.php

ist from this site: http://www.simplemachines.org/download.php?converters

i do not see any ather converter vor phpBB

thank you vor help .....!

so here i am back .....

i tried now the other converter_method, that one with the .SQL, it stopt at the member_point with that error:

Converting members... Unsuccessful!
This query:

INSERT INTO `DBXXXX`. smf_members
Caused the error:

Unknown column 'pm_email_notify' in 'field list'


so than i thought, the members were fine - with the other method, so than i put out all the code - except for the messages from the sql   than i did the first method again, because there i have everything, but no posts - then i did the sql_method (only for the messages) and then it brought all the post, but after one thing i did also about that: Admin > Forum Maintenance > Recount all forum totals and statistics.

so every thing is now in the sm_forum

however, it is not like we find on the firstpage at smf_homepage:
QuoteConverting from another forum couldn't be easier!
it took me 3 days to come to this point, with properly no big help,
and also in all threads now, it dont bring the
Quotequote from xyz_user
from the phpBB threads in a right way, the end_[/quote] only works after i re_enter in that post, and save it again
