The conversion is actually only filling your phpBB3 database tables and copying additional data over to your phpBB3 installation. This has the benefit that if something goes wrong, you are able to either re-run the conversion or continue a conversion, while your old board is still accessible.
We really recommend that you disable your old installation while converting, else you may have inconsistent data after the conversion. Please note that this conversion process may take quite some time and depending on your hosting provider this may result in it failing due to web server resource limits or other timeout issues.

You also may want to access the other administrative sections, e. During the conversion, the search index is not created or transferred.

Always use a complete language pack as default language. Smilies During the conversion you might see warnings about image files where the copying failed. This can happen if the old board's smilies have the same file names as those on the new board. Copy those files manually after the conversion, if you want to continue using the old smilies.
