I know that this matter has already been discussed under the present version, but what about the v5 version. For the benefit of some us who also own boards outside ProBoards, such as phpbb, will we able able to transfer that data to an existing ProBoards board? I would be interested in closing my phpbb board and transfer that data to one of my two semi-dorman boards here... a win-win situation. How about it, guys? Thanks.

Pete (The Oldfella) Hi, Pete This may be possible in the near future. However, it's just currently not a listed change for v5. But, keep reading! Meantime, you may be interested in visiting this page to see what kind of bonus goodies you can get for switching your forum to ProBoards from another service.

Thanks for your prompt response, Sossity. Yes, the idea of switching my current outside board interests me. As mentioned, I currently have two boards here, but are not formatted the same as my outside board, in terms of Boards and Categories. Do I have to create one here identical to my outside board? Thanks,
Pete

We would like to offer support for converting from various forum software over to ProBoards.
Depending on the forum, we may be able to help you transfer data over to ProBoards even now. It takes a lot of time on our end to do this, so we can only offer this for larger forums.

Thanks for chiming in, Patrick. My board originated here (ProBoards) with over 500 members, but was discontinued because ProBoards didn't like its content, "GUNS"... as in the sport of guns > gunsmithing; competitive shooting; hunting; reloading and bullet casting; Target, clay, trap and pin shooting; and plinking in general, as well as matters pertaining to the Second Amendment to our Constitution. This new outside board has 11,665 posts, 2,632 threads/topics, and 161 members, with great growth potential. I would very much appreciate if you would consider taking-on this project and bringing it over to ProBoards. Please let me know. Thanks,
Pete

Hi Pete,
Can you shoot me a PM with a link to the forum? I'll have to discuss with our team on Monday.
