Migrating from Proboards?
« on: December 27, 2003, 06:27:44 PM »		 Reply with quote
Hi! I have a question, right now I have a board in Proboards (and as I see, I think they use what could be a previous version in CGI of the YABB forums, am I right?)
I will move to a pay host, and I have installed my YABB Se and all, but I was thinking... is it possible to in some way convert my past board into the YABB SE?
If not, it's ok, just thought I wouldn't lose anything by asking.
Thanks a lot!

I beleive proboards started off with original YaBB but rewrote it to suit their needs better, unfortunatly you cant convert since they wont give you access to the files needed to convert from :(.

Well it is possible to write a bot to grab info from the board's html output... although it would be slow as molasis and would either most likely time out or bring your computer to it's knees.(depending on how good a computer it is).
