I believe you can import into threads 6.5.5 and then import into 7.2.2 \:\)

Isn't the importer in the members area?
I can't check because I'm expired \:o

I am trying the demo. I wanted to see if I can import the users then if it works without a glitch, I can buy a one year license.

Is this the only way, the members area?

There is an importer in the Member Area to import from PHPBB2 to UBB.Threads7. The importers don't work for the threads demo, as the threads demo is hosted on ubbcentral (as far as I know).

I was the chief tester with the importer, it pulled all members, all posts, etc, there where some spuratic issues with permissions to private areas, so only general "user level access" is imported.

I ran the importer once - just to try it.

It was quite straight-forward and the only issue I encountered was with member custom titles.

However, I didn't really look into it as I wasn't serious - just testing.

BTW - do you realise this topic is named...

PHPBB "is greater than" UBB.

GASP!
Can't have that, can we?
