You can use the merge system to merge two existing MyBB forums together.

I will start conversion in a day or two hopefully.. Will post if i get stuck somewhere Smile

But as your site is phpbb I would guess it will work perfectly (my conversion was from phpbb 3 ->mybb 1.64 )

mybb to mybb??
As stated you can merge 2 mybb boards together .... back in the 80's I wrote software to merge versions of Merlin BBS note ... if anyone has a dos machine and a modem I have a version and the required fossil driver to test it out Big Grin .... <off topic> sorry
Not in this land alone,
But be God's mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world ov'er

Tell me about the coding though. I just really dig the fact that phpBB is XHTML [undefined=undefined]Strict[/undefined]. Very clean and fast loading. Google would have to approve of that too I would think.

What's the difference between XHTML Traditional and Strict and why doesn't myBB switch to XHTML Strict?

Not being argumentative, just curious. Thanks...

PS...tried to BOLD the word Strict above and couldn't for some reason, says "undefined".
A seminar on time travel will be held in two weeks ago.

MyBB was written using Traditional to take advantage of certain attributes and tags which Strict doesn't allow. Traditional basically allows more freedom when it comes to using HTML. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

There's no real point changing this in a minor release. MyBB 2.0 will be using HTML by the looks of it.

Let me double second this. And it is better than some of the paid forums too.

I've used vB, phpBB, and MyBB extensively. I like MyBB a lot better. This community and the great personalities of the staff is also a plus.
The only thing that pains me is the lack of an attractive and functional wysiwyg editor.
