Thanks. I actually took a look at Simple Machines Forums, Vanilla Forums, Vbulletin etc. and PHPBB seemed to be the best middle ground, all have pros and cons really.I'm almost ready to start porting data over, I plan on doing a number of ports, testing what will / won't move over and coming up with a few plans.I already know passwords won't transfer but will post something up about that shortly.

I don't envy you one bit. I migrated an old ubb threads forum to phpbb3 about 2 years ago and it was an absolute nightmare ..I still cringe when I think about it!if I had to do it again id probably pay one of the companies that specialise in that kind of thing to do it for me The good thing about PHPBB3 is it's very well supported so even if you did decide to migrate to SMF or Vbulletin etc at a later date you could do it with relieve ease as there are a lot of scripts out there that will do the hard work for you.I did have a quick look to see if there was a ready made script to do the conversion to save you time but, from web wiz..but only found one for vers 7.9 and 8 (and you probably already looked anyway)Anyhow I hope it all goes well, Good look

Rob - Excuse the bluntness/manners but every time I open this link I obviously see your 'picture' and it has me wondering - how good a likeness would that be?

It is actually a feature in the new forum software we'll be switching to shortly. Although I would hope you don't have to block too many people...
