Hi,
Just wondering if it is possible to transfer an active/existing phpbb forum (with own hosting) that is currently with active with database/members/posts to a phpbb forum hosting web site running phpbbhs script?

Re: Transfer Existing Phpbb forum to phpbbhs script?
It is 100% possible.
There are two ways of doing this:
1. You just need to take a clean backup from your existing phpbb forum (that means database backup without mods installed) or
2. Install existing mods to phpbbhs files and take a full sql backup from your existing phpbb forum and restore it to phpbbhs (that means backup WITH all your mods) .
Notes:
a) keep your database table pre-fixes to phpbb_, there is an automated script inside phpbbhs control panel , which restores sql backups instantly .
b) make sure that the template that you ve used on your own phpbb forum is already "installed" on phpbbhs .
