not sure how to convert from phbb3 to mybb, i have both files uploaded to my forum directory, do i just overwrite all the phbb files with the mybb files and create a new data base?

OK so I now know how to do the merge, the wiki should read like. If your going to install this at the same location on your server as your current forums, zip you directory and download it, then delete the contents of your forum directory, and do a complete new install of mybb, then ad the merge directory to the new directory, and upload the file loginconvert.php to the /int/plugins/ and then direct your browser to yoursite/install/ and install (creating a new database also). then do direct browser to yoursite/merge/ and run the merge install using your old forums database info, then do the cleanup. then go to Admin CP > Tools & Maintenance > Recount & Rebuild and run all the tools there (specifically Rebuild Thread Counters). It's also worth rebuilding the stats cache in Cache Manager.
this is great BB software thanks
