Try changing your login ID in the database, take out the "nonenglish" character and see if that works.
The database table you are looking for is "*users", the field would be "usersname". (usersname is what you refer to as login ID I gues)

Your hosting provider probely has a way to edit the database manualy, most of the time this is done true phpMyAdmin (unless you are using some sort of free hosting).

or simply reinstall the whole forum if posible ...
maybe a link to your forum could help us a bit wink

IE7 lols and still no proper support for real xhtml, it even has problems with some HTML 4.01 standarts ... doh ...
I'm getting tempted to just go ahead and ignore IE ( but what else is new, ow yha FF 2.0 wink )

PunBB Migration Tool
The PunBB Migration Tool is a utility for migrating to PunBB from a series of other forum software. It works by converting the database from the source forum into a PunBB database. The migration tool has been developed by David Djurbäck (a.k.a. Chacmool). In it's current version, the tool supports conversion from the following forum/CMS software:

Invision Power Board 1.3
Invision Power Board 2.0
MiniBB 1.7d
phpBB 2.0
PHPNuke 7.4
vBulletin 3.0.0
YabbSE 1.5.5
SMF 1.0.5
SimpleBoard 1.7d
PHP-Fusion
Please note that the versions listed are the versions that the converter has been thoroughly tested with. The converter might very well work with other versions as well, but they are untested. If you are currently running a forum that the migration tool does not support or if you've run into what you believe is a bug, contact David at chacmool at gmail dot com. The latest version of PunBB Migration Tool can be downloaded from the following location:

PunBB Migration Tool 1.4.0 - Updated 2005-09-30.
Please note that the migration tool is unofficial and that any support questions therefore should be directed to the author. Backup your data before running the converter.

so yha it is tested on 1.0.5 and probly works for other versions as well.
Alway's make a backup of your DB befor converting ...

edit: euh .. read install.txt ?

to do the following :

3. is there code so it can automatic update something like say i wanted a part on my main page to show what the newest post was and the username that posted it...
4. how can i add a member section to a site so people can sign up and login and get better features...

next :

1. what do i need to use php
2. how do i use it

1. You will need a server space with php enabled. Also most php scripts need a mysql database to store info like the users login and stuff like that.

2. It's almost the same as a html website. Just upload the site to the webserver and your ready to go. unless your script (like a forum or cms) needs a database, then you would need to install the script with just means you configure the database access for the script and make all the needed tabels in the database.

hmm google know's moer about me then I knew. At least if it means one of those guy's in the back ....

When changing a users name he isen't in the group any more. At least he has no acces to the forums of that group.

To get it working I needed to change the name in the group table by hand.

I just tryed and I got a e-mail with my pass as administrator. Version 1.1.4 ...

There is no easy way like download a file to recover a password, even if you get in to the database you can't read the password (and belive me thats a good thing). Maby some one else knows a faster way to recover it.

Maby use the forgot pasword link ?

Else you could install the forum some where else. Go in to the database of the frech install true phpmyadmin or something,  go to the user table select your account and copy the password bit.

Next go to the database of your site and past the password in your account. Now you are able to login on the old forum with the password of the new install.

One problem : Names

"ok no code tags then .... also a bug I think, gone report this."

The first is the name, the second is what ends up in the db after the conversion. People are unable to login with there accounts so I needed to edit there name as a admin befor they could login.

Solution : don't convert symboles in names to html wink

thx for the script I would have hated to lose all posts and members account's

Edit : Took out the code tags

What happens is that names that have symbols in them are changed to the html code for the symbol. things like !, $, ....

Maby a bit more info on what and how ? a script or some thing that you are using / wrote ?

Maby I'm just a fool but punBB has nothing to do with CGI, it's all php.  smile

Sing me up for one of those.

If you did not make backups there is no real way of getting them back. Always backup your database on a reguler base. You could ask your hosting provider maby they have backups.
