Transfering SMf to PunBB?

This is my First Post and Report. Read carefully and do at your own risk

Migrating from SMF to PunBB, using latest SMF ver. 1.1.1

1. Download and use this Migration Tools
2. You can use same database at same host, but do it carefully. Make backup as necessary
3. Login as Admin of SMF Forum, Do all Forum Maintenance procedures!
4. Set your Forum at Maintenance Mode (number 2) at Settings.php
    If you run both SMF and PunBB forum at same host, rename or remove older index.php (from SMF)
5. Install (fresh install) your PunBB (currently PunBB ver 1.2.14 )
6. Upload The Migration Tools, especially SMF folder (thanks for David 'Chacmool' Djurbäck)
7. Run Converters (index.php) --> see Readme Install Document and Follow all direction
8. The process take half to 2 hours (depend on your forum), mine took 1587 secons!
    Here the my forum statistic:
    - Member 13704
    - Categories 9
    - Forums 43
    - Topics 5139
    - Posts 70836
See the screen-shot

9. After All Process Complete, Dont forget to set Admin and Password from previous forum, ignore the Moderator user setting (you can do it later).
10. Now, when login to new PunBB forum, The last important thing is The Rebuild Search Index
     Go to Administration Panel - Maintenance - Rebuild Search Index
     See screen-shot

Well, as David suggest.. Prepare your Coffee until the process finish

Goodluck

Dis-advantage from this migration
- Many post need to update manually, such "img code", smiley etc.
- Private Message didnt convert (this David Tools only for SMF 1.0.5)
- Different password methods apply at PunBB vs SMF
- You have to manually announce (at forum board), How To Retrieve New Password for old Members
- Just use the link Forgotten Password, thats it!

Now, you can enjoy the simple and fast PunBB from the heavy and complex SMF
After running for 2 days, my forum reach:
- Total number of registered users: 13874
- Total number of topics: 5181
- Total number of posts: 71369
