Hello,
I want to change my database from mysql to pgsql, with all the existing users, themes etc and I also need to modify my existing mybb board so it can connect to the Postgre database.
Please could someone explain how I should go about this?
There should be a setting in your config file for database type just change that to pgsql.

Migrating the database is something that is more complicated however there are some guides on the links below:

Expect a lot of bugs and issues with MyBB on PostgreSQL. Stick with MySQL if you can.
Postgresql is the better database, but not as widely tested by the MyBB team.
