I really would like to change one of my phpbb boards to MyBB
Is there a converter available now that can "successfully" do this?
yes i answered to your question the other thread where you posted the question, check in the zip file, if u did not find anything drop a line here.

I just dropped a line over there
steps to follow
1. upload the files in your mybb folder where you have installed the forum
eg :
http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/
2. change the settings in the import_phpbb2.php file at this line below to your phpbb installed database name , username and password.
Note : you can get these information from the config.php file inside the phpbb folder.
Quote:function connect($hostname = "localhost", $username = "root", $password = "", $pconnect = false)
3. now run the import_phpbb2.php file./ that 's it/
Thanks vinoth, your a helpful lady, I will give it a go and report on the outcome!
