    In progress Moving old forum from SMF

    Technical Details


    Forum version : #phpBB3
    Position : Moderator
    Concerned browser(s) : Mozilla Firefox
    Who the problem concerns : All members
    Forum link : https://lostworlds-scifi.forumotion.com/

    Description of problem

    My daughter mentioned something she noticed when creating her new forum. That it was possible to move an existing board to your new Forumotion board, although that applied to pHpbb boards as she understood it. Hers is currently under SMF, although I believe that is based off pHpbb. Is it doable if she has access to the data base?

    Import conditions


    Data import is only possible if the following criteria are met:

    You must have a phpBB, inVision or PunBB forum
    You must create a Forumotion forum
    You must have access to your old forum's database
    You must be moving the data to your new Forumotion forum

    Well I guess then the answer is no. May I ask though, why only those three formats? Mel, (daughter) was on the verge of going to Jcink before she was advised to use Forumotion. I hope I can tell her she made the right decision.
