MOVING THE FORUMS

[JamieCOTC]

Hey,

I've been currently trying to update this site for more customization and I can't do it. The current PHPBB 3 is out of date and I tried to update it to no avail. So, I will be moving the site to ProBoards. As I understand it's much easier to manage than PHP and maybe then I'll be around more. Thanks!

Will it be possible to move the entire forum or does this mean starting from scratch again?


I'll make sure I have my backup of Renée's profile. Just in case
Noticed I'll have to edit it anyway, since the links to my images no longer work.


In any case I hope it all goes smoothly

What I'll likely do is leave this forum up and just start the new one. I won't delete this one. Back up what you have, though. As far as moving this forum, if anyone knows how to do that, great, if not, yes, starting over again. Sorry.

There are converters for Simple Machine forums. It might be easier to work with. That being said I've only worked with phpBB (and at that time I made the mistake of using old version, customised theme for it and then realised it would have been pain to upgrade because the theme wouldn't have worked).

if you own the Host of this forum , here how you can do it : https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... or-domain/

why not stick with familiar software though? wouldn't that be better ?

Is the fact that the phpBB software needs to be updated the cause of no longer being able to login securely?
I started to have that problem a few days ago.
