Forum updated and migration from phpBB3 to SMF

Phpbb3_logo smf-logo

I’ve decide to go away from phpBB3 as applying mod is a joke, it require you to patch/edit php file manually while in SMF, it is a plugin.

Migrate your forums from phpBB3 to SMF

Download the converter convert.php at http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=218449.0 and save it in the root folder of a new SMF installation.

Backup your SMF/phpBB3 databases and files just in case something bad happen.

The conversion tools is really powerful and support luckily a huge list of forums:

  • Burning Board   2.3.x, 3.0.x
