Just wanted to drop in and say that my conversion went perfect the first time. All I can say is that if you follow the directions to the "T" things will be good. I was somewhat reluctant at first after reading some of the posts here from those who had trouble.
Haven't had time to really evaluate the product yet, but what I see so far looks very nice!
Thanks for the good work!

PS: I converted from PhpBB 2.0.15...
Did it also convert the polls properly?
Everything went fine for me, except the polls :)
Yes, polls converted as expected, however I didn't have that many on my forum to begin with. As of now, I have not found any problems or missing info. So far, I'm glad I made the change to SMF.
Too many security problems with phpBB, some of which could have been fixed a long time ago, and every time I updated to their newest version, I had to mod the code to block open proxy registrants which were mainly robotic spammers registering just to post their websites. Oops, sorry! Getting off topic here....
