New to SMF - assistance/advice sought on transfer from phpbb3 to smf V2.0.2

[Gobby]

Hi all

I currently have a forum running on PHPbb3 however I have had issues with the portal amongst other issues for a long time now and to fair spend most of my time trying to sort  things out. I have been checking out smf and it seems better suited to our needs and  soI  would like  to transfer my forum over to smf.

My hosting package offers a  single click  setup of the smf forum v2.0.2 so  basically i just need to transfer my memberlist and posts over to smf forum, the problem is I am really new to all of this so any assistance is appreciated as well as advice.

cant post link to my board but can send it if needed

phpBB is a bit of a pain converting to another forum software.
Did you disable the Modifications, themes etc?
