Hi.
I have a question about converting ipb 4 to mybb.
Is this feasible? I want to pass my forum running on IPB 4 to MYBB. If anyone can explain to me in more detail why I came across "Merge System" (click)

Invision Power Board 3, 4 (Pre Release Version)
So probably it's possible

IPB 4 can be converted to MyBB.

however successful conversion depends on a number of factors.
esp. attachments, avatars, BBcodes, nested BBcodes .. might not work.
if there are child forums of deep level (2nd/3rd..) then they might not convert.

I'd suggest to try the conversion using localhost server [eg. XAMPP]
And if satisfied then transfer the converted database to live server.
