Please note that this converter has some limitations.
It does not convert:
- board permissions.
- banning.
- settings and configuration.
- groups properly; all moderators will become Global Moderators.
- polls.
I do not know what versions it works for. Currently, it is known to work with phpBB 2.0.4. Please tell me if it does not work for a specific version of phpBB.
Importantly, the YaBB SE database user MUST have access to both databases. (if they are on separate databases.) This can easily be done with cpanel, just ensure that the user is added to both databases.
And note that you must install YaBB SE before using this converter.
More issues may come about. Please remember that this is a beta.
