I've backed up everything first. :up:

In the To/From selection in Impex I choose PHPBB3 and vB 4.2.2

When I run the convertor I see messages that mention phpBB 3.0.3 and I suspect there is where the problem starts. I'm running pbpBB 3.1.9 I can only imagine they are not 100% compatible.

If I ignore the messages and proceed I get a sort of half successful conversion but no attachments. Our forum depends on the attachments so this is a deal-breaker.

Would I have any success if I were to try to convert to 3.8.9 and then update to 4.4.2?

Another issue I faced was I got an error from my host saying more or less that the database was being hammered, it looked like a DOS attack, and I had to stop work and wait for the database to come back online. In the meantime this closed the forum which didn't go unnoticed by the users.

Edit I think there are limits on the Impex software that won't let me upgrade PHP / MySQL.
