Hi All,

I need to import a load of forums, users and topics/threads from a phpBB install to a fresh WWF forum. I'm not concerned about users passwords not working - they can either reset it themselves or I can write a script to give them all new passwords and email it to them.

If there isn't a script to do this already, I don't mind paying someone to write one for me.

the PHPBB is MSSQL? or WWF is , or both?

basiclly it depends on the database structure, does it have Forum table, posts table and topics table etc, and the way they are all linked
