Topic: Migration to PunBB from phpBB?

Hey guys-

I've been checking out this forum software and am really starting to like it. The problem is I have a pretty big phpBB forum so I would rather move the phpBB database to punBB rather than jettisoning it and starting a new punBB forum.

Any way I could do that? Thanks!

Re: Migration to PunBB from phpBB?

I just migrated from phpbb. The migration tool worked pretty well. Some things had to be changed manually though. Most of the <img> tags in phpbb didn't convert to [img] tags in punBB so the images didn't show up until I corrected this. All in all it was a pretty smooth transition.
