It is possible to merge?

A database from different forum softwares? Like for example a phpBB and a MyBB databases?

Also I was wondering, how goes the mergin of two databases? If I want to merge two phpBB forums how do I go about doing this?

Thanks.

It's difficult if you're not converting INTO vb. Vb has their own IMPort/EXport software.

Yes, it is possible to merge...how you do it and how easy it is depends on what software you will be working with.

I don't think phpBB has any "official" merge utilities (if at all) or conversion utilities. I may be wrong, though, as I don't use phpBB.

If you're interested in merging forums into a MyBB-powered board, a MyBB Merge Wizard is in development for around MyBB 1.4. It's really nice, details on it can be found here: http://www.surfionline.com/archives/...ay-you-import/ (Chris Boulton's blog, even though he isn't the one who's really developing the merge wizard).

There is an unofficial phpBB to MyBB converter, but I'm not sure if it merges or just converts - you'd have to investigate that.

Wow cool, thanks for the info...I´ll check it out...before best-board.com, merging two boards was a no-no for me, but now I think it is pretty good for both forums.

Here is the tutorial to merge 2 phpBB forums. It has the most common steps and errors you'll encounter .. because you'll have them

Best of luck with the merge. If you need more info, please let me know .. after working for one week almost to this I kinda learnt something
