#2 How do I remove the long URL? I have no idea where to find that.
#3 How do I delete topics and posts from the database?
Sorry, I’m not a developer.

Just checking – any suggestions?

I am using 1.1x. I was able to successfully convert to phpBB. You can see the converted forum here:
http://leftcoastlogic.com/forum/phpbb/
I have full admin access to this, and checked that the tables, topics, posts and users were all successfully converted to phpbb.
I then downloaded the phpbb-to-bbpress script from code.google.com (per other posts here):
http://code.google.com/p/phpbb3-to-bbpress1-converter/
Following instructions, I began the conversion and it stepped through the process. It appeared to have completed the “converting posts” step, although the last step had some strange text:
View post on imgur.com
I then proceeded to the next step, “convert users data”, and got this error message:
View post on imgur.com
I then tried to run the script a second time, and got this error message:
View post on imgur.com
So, I guess I’m not having much luck converting my phpBB forum to bbPress. Any suggestions?

This did not work for me. The first time I tried it, I got as far as “Convert Posts” then got this:
GENERAL ERROR
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]
Data too long for column ‘user_url’ at row 1 [1406]
I then tried again (having no idea what to do), and got this error message:
SQL ERROR
Duplicate entry ‘1’ for key ‘PRIMARY’ [1062] followed by a bunch of text that seems to replicate the key.

Thanks. The first link is one year old and the link to the converter is broken.
The second link is three years old.

Umm, I can’t get to the bbPress admin page, that’s the whole problem

I have the same problem. I do have access to phpMyAdmin but under the bb_usermeta selection, nothing is there.
