DemonGoddess Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Well, have a few forums I'm supposed to upgrade for some friends of mine. Did one between Friday and Saturday. It was a NIGHTMARE. Anyone who has a phpBB2 and is upgrading to phpBB3, be aware that the transition if you have any kind of posting data is TWITCHY at best. Altogether, took somewhat over NINE hours to transfer, convert, then re-transfer the database from one version to the other. It gets better. After waiting YEARS for this rewrite from php3 to 4, I'm finding depending on the host, it tends to run a bit slower. A host which has php5 (like mine) as its default runs phpBB3 slower than I like. I've done SOME tweaking of my own server environment to speed things up, but there's only so much I can do as an end user. Am pounding my head on my desk in anticipation of the other three I've gotta get to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest orleans Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I'm happy I know how a computer can be switched on.... I have no idea what you are talking about, but I hope for you that you can fix everything the way you want to have it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGoddess Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 *sighs* The last one is being the worst one for converting. 30+ hours into the conversion, and have to do yet some more FIXES in the database before the damn forum is ready to go live. --I'm ready to pull my hair out at this point-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
