Hello,
So I have been using phpbb for a forum software and i just hate it smf is way better and id like to migrate everything over, This induces:
Users and there accounts (passwords etc)
All topics
Is this possible, I'm no guru at this stuff so could someone help me do this?
Much appreciated
Tom
Hi Tom, and welcome to sm.org
Converters do exist for several phpBB versions and we have successfully converted a bunch of forums over the years ;)
That being said:
- There is yet no converter for phpBB 3.1
- Unfortunately the conversion is (almost) never a straightforward process, it's just a complicated "beast"...
- Depending on the version you're using, it is possible that passwords aren't recognized by SMF
- We'll do our best to help you
Please have a look at Converting to SMF (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Converting) for a start, let us know which version you are using and let's move from there ;)
