Hi Nebula
Some remarks before you send your actual release:
- When you import style, add "phpBB_" for example before the name of the phpBB style, because phpBB and VB have the same name "default" for the default style, and after import we have 2 default style and it is difficult to know who is the phpBB an VB style;
- I have choose to conserve the password of the phpBB user: when i make importation, i put the old (phpBB) psw in the VB user base. In VB, i have change the lines where the psw is checked with the same method than phpBB (md5 function); for the Email psw, i must send a random psw, but it is not ready for this moment. With this modification, i can switch from phpBB to VB in 1 or 2 hours max, without any disagrement for users: it is transparent !
- I am not sure at 100% that your script is ok (i hope that it is ok!), but i have some problems like Juan, but for my test of importation, i work on a not very clean base of phpBB...(i have just a difference of 1 between posts and posts_text tables. And the result of the importation give me some stranges mixtes with bad name for posters and also, more strange, i have found privates messages in publics posts... and i am not sure that is only due to the fact that i use a not clean phpBB base... I am writing a litle script for import my real phpBB base from the web to my personnal server without changes or omissions. When this step will be finish, i will say: YES your script is OK or NO...somethings is wrong. That is the raison why i said nothing since some days, i wait to be sure before speaking...
That all for today, and your work is very nice !

I send you more informations when i have
(If you want my real clean base, it is 1,2Mo size...i can post it)
Bye
