Hello. This is my first time posting here, so I hope I make a good first impression
Anyways...I just finished my phpBB 1.4.0 Convertor Utility, allthough I don't have an actual phpBB 1.4.0 DB to test it on. All I did was use a DB with 2 forums, one topic, and one post . Anyways, if you have phpBB 1.4.0, or any other kind of phpBB (Convert it to 1.4.0, of course ), please please help me test this.
If you find an error or some way of crashing or messing up the process, please tell me what happened. Also, if you could send me a copy of the database you are using, that would be greatly appreciated. Please don't think I'll steal your PWs, because they are MD5 encoded.
Known Bugs:
Does not make private forums private while converting
When it is converting, all the user passwords are changed to a different md5-encoded string. I plan to change this later.
I know it isn't very user friendly. Also, please don't take any part of this code without my permission. I worked really hard on it. Thanks a bunch.
Please post anything you have to say about this below.

I would like to thank you for your import script, it's perfect. Don't forget to e-mail me your paypal details.
At last it has worked. Nothing wrong at all with your script, it was to do with the format of the dates from IB. After moving to phpBB, I had to run another script to change to the correct date format, then it just went very smooth.
I managed to go from IB to PphBB to Vbulletin without a single bug.
Too cool.
Hey, it might be a good idea to show us what the script you used to change the date format as... it might assist some of the others (like me ) that are working on a conversion.

a question before i start converting...
does it take in consideration hacked boards or does it only treat the standard database??
in phpbb about 12 extra rows and tables..
in vb about 5 extra rows in user and extra table....
It should work fine as long as you haven't changed any of the original DB structure. It will work if you added columns to the DB structure, but not if you changed the default ones. Also, don't expect it to convert the extra data :-D
Also, this works fine with vBulletin 2.2.0+, just make sure that you reuse md5 passwords. And since you're doing that, there's no need to make new PWs.
Yes, it is compatible with 1.4.4. There will be an importer made my me for phpBB2. I don't want to make one for a pre-release version, because they could make some huge database rewrite, and I'll have to redo the whole thing.
