Hello,

I am new here and I run a forum with Mybb. Until now it was supposed to be just a forum. Now I want to get creative and add more content myself by writing articles and blogs and make it more dynamic. Is there a way I can move all the threads, posts and users to Drupal? I am not worried about the user passwords and I think they (the active ones at least) will be happy to re-enter them.

Thanks a lot.

Hello lame!
I myself use mybb as my forum solution and use Drupal only for frontend. You can find a drupal - mybb user bridge at mybbaddons.com
Or you can convert your mybb to phpbb then use this mod: http://drupal.org/project/phpbbforum

Hope that's enough to get you started :)

Thanks for the info.
Could you please give me some pointers as to how this is done in your site?
I am looking for somethings like:

(a) Blog/article posts on the main site show up as threads and the comment links direct the users to forum.
(b) If a user goes back and forth between main site and forum, will it affect his login status?
(c) Part of threads/posts show up in the main site.

It seems that the article explains embedding the forum rather than a DB migration to Drupal DB.
Is is possible to do? Something like MyBB>phpBB>Drupal_forum?

Thanks again
