Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am running MyBB 1.6 and want to
convert to vanilla forum.  There are no converters that I know
of. Is there a way to do it using a middleman forum that is
supported by both ? eg mybb -> phpbb -> vanilla?  I am also
willing to do this manually if someone can point me in the
direction and start me off, is it a matter of just changing SQL
column names and such?  share|improve this question I converted
to mybb to phpbb 3 to vanilla, it now works fine thanks. –  h00j

to build a script to do this if you are familiar with PHP and
MySql.  Basically you need to look at the database entries for
each of the forums you mentioned, and match up the column names.
Then you could create a PHP script to take the info from one,
and enter it in the other.  You would only need to copy over the
information that relates t
