Does anyone no if it is possible to transfer the posts in a PHPBB forum to an IPB forum. *Stupid

I dont know if it is possible, but i have seen converters but only for ipb to phpbb. try phpbbhacks.com but i dont know.
the only other way would be to go into phpmyadmin and copy each post to the new database. if you dont know youre way around phpmyadmin it can get a little tricky.

It is possible to convert posts from another forum to ipb. I have seen converters at http://invisionboard.com but havn't been their for a while so you should check it out. Copying each post through phpmyadmin would be quite silly as it would take a long time to take date, content and user references and then you would have to enter them into your other board in a compatible manner. Why do the work of a converter when it can do it for you? I strongly suggest looking at the invision site I metioned and if that fails do a engine search.
