I have been using phpBB for quite some time now but decided to switch to vB. The only problem is that I can't get impex to work without kinks. I basically just want to copy all of my old phpBB2 users, posts, and forums. Can somebody give me a simple walkthrough to just copy a phpBB2 installation over to a vB?

Have you looked at the impex manual yet?

Yes, I have, but it was very vague. I'm just looking for a clean copy, but that manual seems to be centered around more of a merging two forums instead of just copying them over.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
