Topic: What happens when I convert from PhpBB to PunBB?

I'm planning on using the migration tool provided here at punbb.org to migrate a PhpBB forum to PunBB. However, I don't really want to delete the PhpBB forum database, or have it screwed up, until I see that everything is working alright.

So what happens with the databases? Are the PhpBB forum database left intact?

Could someone who knows tell me a little about this? Thanks!

Yes, it stays intact. You can do a test run on your computer first so you make shure what you are doing...

Re: What happens when I convert from PhpBB to PunBB?

Hi All.
I use PHP Nuke and want to use punBB io of phpBB that PHP Nuke uses as a module.
2 Questions please.
1. Will punBB work as a module as well and use PHP Nuke's theme?
2. Will it use the same password as the rest of PHP NUke site or will have seperate login information?
Thanks!

I've never seen anyone using PunBB with phpNuke and I've never used phpNuke, so I have no clue. I have a feeling it would take quite a bit of rewriting
