    Is there a SEO way to ease the transtion from a phpbb based website to a IPB forum?

    or should I just change it and just wait out the time to re-index the new forum.

    What do you mean by "ease the transition"?

    i will be changing forums soon, but secided to leave the old forum up set to read only (tho post enabled in the admin forum) for a while until users get used to the new one.

    i suppose from an seo point of view it will not mean a sudden drop in pages indexed, but my main reason for doing it this way was from a users point of view.

    SEO point of view would be a sudden death of all the indexed pages.

    How did you leave up the old forum? Don't they both share the index.php?
