Title: YaBB 2.3 Conversion
Post by: Derek Bullock on November 01, 2008, 04:18:34 AM
Have been thinking for some time now to convert to SMF but never really got around to it.

Recently I upgraded my YaBB Forum to 2.3 but it is still the same old forum software so exploring other option.

I currently have just over 450 members with 16432 posts in 1813 threads.

Do you think it would be possible to convert this to SMF.

Thanks


Derek

yes, it's possible and easy.. Our guide should help you:
Converting to SMF (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?board=4.0;sort=subject)

The conversion doesn't modify your YaBB, so you can try it without any risk..

we haven't tested our Yabb 2.2 converters with Yabb 2.3. Our converters take a snapshot from your Yabb and leave the Yabb untouched.. So you can test SMF without a risk...
