    ...

    I'm not an expert but since phpBB2 is beta, and I read that the code could change alot from the phpBB2 Dev board (ME: [coax]Try vB, it's great, see.[/coax], Cleint: NO, I want a free BB ) so it could be difficult. If you really want it, then I'm sure someone could do it for around $15 (not me, really) so it be available. Just an opinion.

      I honestly don't remember if there is an unofficial phpBB 2 converter available at vbulletin.org but there is not an official one here. Once phpBB 2 becomes final we will look at doing an importer for it.

              oh
              Kevin, have you looked into phpBB2 database?
              is it similar to vBull's?

                      Okay. Now that phpBB2 has gone final will there be an official converter made?

                      Or does anyone know of a current un-official converter? I searched at vBulletin.org but couldn't locate anything.

                      I am looking to convert our site from phpBB2 to vB sometime within the next few weeks as we will be launching a big advertising campaign.

                      For the time being it looks like I and many others are stuck with phpBB2 until a converter is made

                      Anyone know of one or have an ETA?

                      Thanks

                        okay....so we have any progress on this? I AM buying vB next week Monday providing I can,at the very least, keep my threads intact. Ideally, I'd like to keep all my styles intact too. So we any closer to a solution on a phpbb2 Final converter?

                          There is an unofficial beta phpBB2 import script over at vbulletin.org:



                          My guess is that if there is ever an official script, it won't be until sometime after vB 3 is released.

                            I see I have to get the software before I can look at teh converter. Makes sense. A pain, but makes sense.
