I'm interested in converting from Invision Power Board v1.3.1 to Web Wiz Forum. Can I use my existing database...members, posts, etc?

Thanks!

No, the databases will not be the same. All forums have different database designs, depending on who designed them and what data they hold.

So I can't even use the user names and password fields?

Unless you can find away to import the usernames and passwords using a script or app you build yourself then probally not.

Web Wiz Forums uses 160bit encryption for passwords which will not be the same as Invision.
