I have a "phpBB" board installed, but I'dd like to know if you have users and posts in your MySQL db will it be converted to the YaBB???

I like the board so much, I'dd like to convert it, but I don't feel like transfering all the accounts.

There aren't much posts, so don't worry about that, it's the users I'm worried about...

The table used for the users is "users" (I believe)...

So, can you tell me if it'll work???


thx!

One last question:

Is it possible to run the db on the same db of phpBB???

I mean: I can only host one db with portland... :(
Doesn't it give some trouble like same table names and stuff?

Also, do you have a link to your phpBB forum?

And are the passwords in phpBB encrypted or no?

Yeah, I have a link, but I don't know if it works; because the Portland server is down for the moment... :(

Else it is:

I don't think the passwords are encrypted...

I downloaded the zip file v. 1.0.0 but it doesn't contain any images or nothing...

Is this normal?

The whole files are packed in the *.ya file. After the installation they are extracted....
