Hi,

currently I have two phpBB boards and I would like to import both to a new vBulletin installation. Is that possible? Because I tried it with the import system and the whole forums kinda got busted.

Any idea?

OK, thanks.

Now I didn't do this before trying to import the second phpBB. The problem is that a lot of tables like "user" are blank :( I hope that all the styles and templates are not gone too because I was working on them quite a bit :(

Because of that I cannot login to the admincp (it shows a database error). Can I somehow get into that admincp to download the templates and styles?

Honestly it sounds like you will need to reinstall and start over.

That means that all my styles are GONE? I still have two rows in the "style" table (I had two styles) and about 500 rows in the "template" table. Is there any way I can get the styles?

I don't know if these are recoverable or not. What is the db error you are getting when you try to log into the Admin CP?
