@capsx Those are phpBB ‘magic_url’ and phpBB by default will truncate/shorten all URL’s to 55 characters. It does this so there are not extremely long URL’s in posts. eg. This URL is 63 characters in length, phpBB will leave the ‘href’ in tact but shorten the displayed URL to 55 characters.
phpBB SQL DB stores this in the posts table with the following code
<!-- m --><a href="http://www.example.com/directory/directory/directory/directory/">http://www.example.com/directory/directo ... directory/</a><!-- m -->
Obviously my vB was set up with a ton of permissions we now dont have.
At this stage that would be quite tough to migrate those 😉
Also not sure if deliberate, but forums that were childed are now not and I had to spend an hour re-organising all the forums.
It is a ‘known issue’ also with phpBB, hopefully in the future we can fix this.
hi, I am sure, I am not the only one, but I do think ‘Reply” button (and maybe also “quote” button should be added by defult in every post, so users do not have to go to the bottom of the page to reply to given topic,
threaded comments are available in WordPress and it is great feature, so I think it should be nr1 new feature in bbpress 2.2
it is especially useful when replies to a topic take more than one page… especially for new users who never used bbpress.. but different forum software, this would be really great
we are using buddypress forums (after moving from phpbb, and the number of replies is now dramatically lower, because users can’t always find an easy way to reply.. and just give up…
and considering that forums are normally used for “support” – volunteers who would like to reply just give up! 🙁
Have a look at the raw data in your MySQL database not the rendered HTML output, apart from some ‘line breaks’ (<br />) you will find this data is identical.
If you are actually wanting the importer to convert phpBB’s BBCode during import that is being worked on for future versions of bbPress and the import/conversion tool.

Thanks for all the work you do, netweb. I was also happy to see some dude suddenly appeared with a solution to this important feature of stripping bbcode of useless stuff: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1884
I meat all the requirements, now just out of curiosity the bbpress plugin doesnt use mod rewrites right away does it? cause i have a existing folder called “forums” but i dont think thats causing the issue.
OK so I totally spaced and replied on the thread above with this reply first instead of here. Sorry!
Thanks for the thread netweb my concern is definitely performance number one. But point well taken optimization is always first and foremost no matter what size the site is.
I had to ask because there are so many articles and threads on how to accomplish the multi-login scenario none of them are without issues. I’m really not looking to complicate or increase my workload.
You made some real valid points and have helped narrow down my decision making a whole bunch. I have found that keeping things as simple as we can really works out for the best in the long run in most cases.
Rock on with the bbpress project, I love my phpbb, been using them for 10 years. It’s time to try something new. I do like its simplicity and it’s come a long way from almost a year ago when I looked at it.
