In another forum I found how to change in phpMyAdmin the value of auto_increment which defines the id of a post:

1) Select the table "posts".

2) Select "Operations", on the bottom you can change the value of auto_increment.

I reassigned new id's to the posts. There are about 350.

After this the new last_post_id is something like 14707. It's possible that I used 14000 or so in the process of changing the id's.

How can I "reset" last_post_id?

Thank you!

I found also the entry in the database. I overlooked it...

I moved a topic from one to another forum and forgot to disable that there will be a reference to the topic in the old forum ("Moved: ...").

How can I delete this reference in the MySQL database?

I will try it. Thank you!

Yes, that is what I meant.

Is there a "safe" way to move posts with phpMyAdmin? I have not yet much experience with the administration of MySQL tables...

It seems to me that you didn't upload the admin files. Did you?

Can it be something wrong with the converter? Does the topics have a correct date? (I've made the PhpBB->PunBB-converter, so It's nice to know if somethings wrong smile)

Nothing is wrong with the converter! The posts were mixed when they were converted from WebBBS to phpBB.

It's very nice! Yaffe m'od (or something like this...)!

I converted from WebBBS to phpBB and then to PunBB. What's happened is, that the posts of some topics do not appear in the right order: The topics are ordered by threads, not chronologically.

I read at http://punbb.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=3424, that there is no feature to move postings. It would be nice this would be possible. wink

I have installed punBB at http://www.tantra-info.ch, a site in German with information about Tantra, Neo-Tantric workshops and so called tantric massages.

I used WebBBS for about 2 years. I love WebBBS very much, but because of the CPU load of the CGI script I decided to migrate to a MySQL-based board. So I converted the forum to phpBB. A few days later I found punBB and converted phpBB to punBB. I still have to move some topics and messages an assign posts by Anynomous to the users.

Thank you Rickard for the excellent script and all members of the forums for their support!

Yes. I made it editing the tables in phpMyAdmin. Is there another way? That was my question. wink

I started now with changing the database manually. What do you mean with "PunBB (and no other BB software I know of) has the feature built-in"? Did I miss something?

Is it possible to assign topics written by Anonymous to certain users?

I think this should be possible changing MySQL tables. Or am I wrong?

Thank you for the fast answer!

Now everything works fine.

I'm a newbie with punBB coming from WebBBS, then phpBB...

My questions:

1) I have a conversion from WebBBS to pphBB. Using the Converter: PhpBB2 -> PunBB1.1 there is a setting screen:

Host: localhost
PunBB database: 
PunBB prefix: 
PhpBB database: 
PhpBB prefix:

Does this work with database connection or dump files? If it works with database connection: Must phpBB have the same password as PunBB?

2) If I start the converter I get the following error:

"Error: Unable to truncate table.TRUNCATE TABLE my_punbb.punbb_polls."

By the way: Is there an easy way to convert WebBBS to punBB?
