Sounds like the phpBB is not running now, otherwise I would just copy the text from there. Without the software running, you're going to need to view the posts in the database and copy them from there and paste into bbPress. With a small number of posts, I wouldn't bother with export and import, just copy them and post new at bbPress. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/phpbb-to-bbpress-easy-export#post-16623 Fri, 06 Jun 2008 13:45:52 +0000 rogermbyrne 16623@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi Guys and Gals</p> <p>I have a very small phpbb database but not up and running as many problems i have installed bbpress everything is working fine!
