    Hey there, I need some serious help on this topic, as I have played around for about 6 hours and keep getting error after error.

    I have the following databases.

    > 2 x phpBB 3 databases
    > 2 x MyBB databases
    > 2 x vBulletin databases

    I'm looking to merge all of these into either phpBB 3 forum or a MyBB 1.6 forum.

    I need any kind of help I can get!

    If you go to MyBB I recall they have a merge forum feature but you will need to look that one up. First thing you need to do however is convert every single one to MyBB (if you are going to use MyBB).

    To do this search on Google - phpBB to MyBB converter and then vBulletin to MyBB converter. Once you have them converted to MyBB at the latest version, then you are able to merge them into a single forum using "MyBB Merge System". I have included a link to MyBB Merge System and if memory serves me well I think that also allows you to convert forums to MyBB.

    It's been a while since I wrote anything for MyBB, but I seem to recall more than one thread on merging vBulletin and phpBB databases into MyBB. Go to the Community Forum and search. If you can't find anything, ask. The authors are active on the forum, and someone who wrote the plugin, function or whatever is used is sure to pop up and point you to the information you need.
