|
|
I know you guys used an ezBoard to phpBB forum converter when making this forum. I've got a few questions about it (another forum i got to will be switching to phpBB in a few days).
1. Did you use the converter on phpbb.com?
2. If no tot he above question, where did you get the converter?
3. Were you able to select which forums to transfer?
4. Were you able to select which posts to transfer (or which pages from a forum)?
5. How much intelligence does it take to use (not all of the admins at the other forum are all that technically inclined)? |

I used the converter from phpbb. It has a readme or similar file showing how to use it. It's really simple. All the edits are grouped together in one file for easy use.
It only converts one forum at a time, and it transfers entire forums at a time. If you want to limit the topics, you need to delete out the posts you don't want to move.
As for the last question, download it and read through the install instructions and see waht you think. I don't think it was difficult at all. |
