Well after struggling with config issues on my SQL server (thanks slammer worm) and some script issues thanks to my popup blocker Im just about ready to migrate our 3000+ user database from PHPBB to InstantForum.
My problem now is that PHPBB encrypts all user passwords using a keyless MD5 hash while instantfourm stores all PWs as clear text in the DB.
Since MD5 encryption is one way, is there anyone out there that has added MD5 support to instantforum?
There are .Net classes that handle MD5 which I could integrate in if someone would point me in the right direction to add this in.
Honestly im hoping someone has already done this to save me the trouble ;-).

Hi Manitcor, Thank you for your post. The forum supports both plain text and TripleDES encrypted passwords within the database. From v3.4 onwards all passwords are saved into the database using TripleDES encryption. You can save them as plain text initially if you wish within the database for the conversion and the next time the member updates the profile information the password will be saved with the TripleDES encryption added. Does this help ?
Kindest Regards,

Hi Manitcor, I would appreciate if you could share your experience with me too. I'm about to start moving from phpBB to InstantForum, and it would be nice if someone with real world experience could advice on what troubles I should expect. Regards,

I have phpBB and looking for migrating to InstantASP. Anyone has suggestions or a script to move the messages from one database to the other?Dear DanMorin, There is a field called GroupID in the InstantForum_Members table where you can set any MemberGroupID stored in the InstantForum_MemberGroups table.
In your case, I would suggest you create a row in the InstantForum_MemberGroups table with a name like "Customers" and then use this MemberGroupID value when you move the Members from your old database to the InstantForum34 database.
Also, you'll need to add a row in the InstantForum_ForumGroupsMemberGroups table with the ForumGroupID and the new MemberGroupID value for each Forum Group in your old System and do the same for the InstantForum_ForumMemberGroups table.

| The good news is that full convesion from phpBB forum to Instant Forum is possible. I've did a very basic conversion, I'm still working to get all detail completed such as phpBB code converted to html and post count adjust per topic. As for user password, they can't be converted but they can do a lost password and retrieved a new since I generated random password for every user. I think the main point is to not loose information... Sample of a real life forum converted phpBB original forum: http://www.genoclub.com/genealogyforum/ Instant Forum converted: http://support.genopro.com If anyone in InstantAsp staff interested with the script, message me. I will probably release it anyway when completed.

| Hello folks, I see that its been months since anyone posted on this thread. I'm currently looking into moving 2000 users from a phpBB board to InstantASP. I have searched around for tools to make this migration happen, but haven't found anything concrete. Any news on this? Have any tools been developed for an "easy" transition? Fill me in please
