Should I be getting a blank page on the initial step?

The database configuration step:

When I click to 'Run' that first one, it goes to a blank page.
Is it doing something or should I see some kind of results begin to fill in?

Should I leave it running 'over the weekend' before expecting a change or do I have an issue to resolve 'somewhere'?

Is there somewhere I can see a log of errors or even a file being updated 'real time' to see where its hanging or if its hanging at all?

Hmmm... /convert/logs/ has a file that last had an update 20 minutes ago when I started the process, and has this in it:

array (
  'resume_module' => 
  array (
    0 => NULL,
    1 => 'db_configuration',
  ),
  'disabled' => 
  array (
  ),
  'completed' => 
  array (
  ),
  'newdb_query_count' => 62,
  'total_query_time' => 0.043263912200928,
  'allow_anonymous_info' => 0,
  'first_page' => 1,
  'requirements_pass' => 1,
  'requirements_check' => 1,
  'problem_notice' => 1,
  'board' => 'phpbb3',
  'start_date' => 1306448391,
  'module' => 'db_configuration',
  'autorefresh' => 'no',
)

There is an issue you need to resolve.

Thanks for the heads up then.

We did absolutely nothing different this morning other than using a web browser on somebody else's machine - ran the conversion - and it worked.

But hey, got our data to go through on a test run. Lost half our users (but not any posts) but they disappeared in the conversion step from jForum -> pbpBB. From phpBB -> MyBB went through intact.

Well, contact the authors of the jForum->phpBB converter and see if they can't fix your issue

We'd prefer you to make it totally intact.
