hi,

i have a forum which is running on phpBB3 currently. is it possible to move to UBB without any extra work?

there is a phpbb3 importer available now

Members area shows a "From PHPBB 3.x" importer currently.
Notes are:
Importing from phpBB 3.x

Place the phpbb_import.php script into the importers directory and bring it up in your browser. Follow the instructions to import your phpBB forum.


Special Notes

1) Passwords cannot be imported due to the different encryption methods. Your users will need to request a temporary password.

2) Polls cannot be imported.


Redirect Scripts.

Edit the $URL in index.php and put it in place of your original index.php script

Edit the $URL in viewforum.php and put it in place of your original viewforum.php script.

Edit the $URL in viewtopic.php and put it in place of your original viewtopic.php script.

also, it ain't gonna import your phpbb3 style either

I think it would be nice to be able to read the importer updates and notes from a guest point of view.
It kinda sucks that a potential new user can't access this info without member access.

How are they supposed to know what works(imports) and doesn't.

The documentation on the UBB products have always sucked.

I have been for years have complained about the lack of this all around.

Perhaps they will have some sort of web presentation in the future explaining their product and its abilities or something and an actual manual like in the past when Classic was running strong.

Serious companies have serious web presentations and documentation.

Agree!

A UBB.UBB.Wiki would be just friggen awesome IMHO... Keeping up with every type of update possible in a FAQ forum takes literally forever lol

Is that an offer Gizmo

I think I offered before to offer to do anything to help the new cause
