On the Project page, it says

If a Drupal user name matches a phpBB user name, the phpBB user data will not be imported.

Does this mean if a phpBB user already has a Drupal account - with the same username, but perhaps a different uid - that while their user data will not be imported, their phpBB posts will be? If so, I assume it will change the uid in the post to the user's Drupal uid.

Do I have this right?

Thanks for all the assistance. I'm really hoping to get my site moved into Drupal to escape the hell of Post-Nuke...

Title: One final question... » same user name in phpBB and Drupal

I forgot.
Please test, report here and see with the new maintainer.

Well, I will try but I have not been able to do a successful import using phpbb2drupal on that server yet. Apparently it does not have the iconv module in its PHP install.
I can run it on a different server, but getting my user accounts imported there is a little more work...

I'll let you know what happens if I can manage it...

Thanks,
Eric

@ #2 - are you using the latest Drupal-5-3.x-dev module? this should fall back gracefully to mbstring if iconv is not available (or gnu recode if mbstring is not available either...)

HI,

Well, the server seems to have neither of those modules either. Prolly explains why phpbb2drupal doesn't work on it.

Seems like a really good idea to move to the new machine.
