Converting from IPB3 to Phpbb3 help

[marc180]

Hey guys,

I'm sure this has been asked before but I wasn't able to find anything in the forum. I'm trying to convert IPB3 to Phpbb3 while keeping the database intact, I was wondering if anyone knew the best way of doing it.

Thanks,

Marc180

There is no such converter till date

So u have to wait

Why do u want to convert ??

[marc180]

IPB is giving me way too many headaches lately and since Phpbb has a mod to auto-submit to ddl sites and a few other useful ones. I figure why not switch over.

[Perl]

You can use mechosubmitter

It has a FF plugin that can submit to many DDLs at 1 click a link

i believe you can go from IBP to VBulletin to PhpBB

[Perl]

Yes IPB to vB to PHPBB

Or IPB to myBB to PHPBB

Or IPB to SMF to PHPBB

[marc180]

myBB and SMF didn't have a converter on their website for IPB 3 and converting to VB I've looked around but couldn't find anything on it or successful conversions.

[Perl]

Use ImpEx to convert IPB to vB 3.8.x and then convert to PHPBB if u want
