Hi,

I want to convert my phpbb3 to bbpress. I am getting lot of spamming there. Is there any conversion?

I have about 1000 members there. I want to keep that members and posts without any loss.

Thanks

A converter for phpbb3 is in progress. Here’s a link to the ticket for it. https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1547

How do i know that it is ready?

I am sorry to ask this question

[Andre]

The top of https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1547, where it currently says Ticket #1547 (new enhancement), will change to Ticket #1547 (closed).

With the number of people waiting for this, including myself, I expect it to be pretty easy to tell when it’s ready.

I believe it will take few more years!

PHPBB will publish new versions, bbpress will publish new versions!

I’m also interested in this.

Surely an importer is in the works, right? Cannot be that everyone starts from scratch???

@agriz – Now that bbPress 2.0 has been released I’d guess people will spend a little more time on enhancements like importers and plugins.

@ed – An importer is in the works, but it didn’t make much sense to make an importer for an unfinished piece of software.
