hi

ive been reading through some of the posts on the msgboard and something are still confusing me regarding the transfer of existing phpbb forums into phpnuke (forums)... i have tried the transfer.php thats posted on the site and it seem to have worked transferring all the data from my existing phpbb forum to my phpnuke..

here are my questions:
1- ill log into my old phpbb forum and i can access the admin panel.. when when i log in phpnuke as admin and try to access the admin panel of the forum i get the error "user does not exist".. how can i access the admin panel in phpnuke instead of loggin in my old phpbb seperately?

2- does BBtoNuke work better than the transfer script or should i suse both?

on a slightly different question.. this one is about the blocks in my site..
http://www.thevideogameshow.net

now when u click on News, Contact and Links button... the blocks Search, Games and Web Search appears on the right... but when u click on Reviews, Articles, Staff and Info the blocks (Search, Games, Web Serach) dont appear on the right... how can i fix this

any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks in advance

I used the transfer.php script and the only problem I have is that my personal account is not working, it was copied correctly from the BB db to the Nuke db but all my posts in the forums are now marked as guest and my account is not accessible nor listed in either Nuke or BB.

Code:

if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}

$index = 1;
require_once("mainfile.php");

$index = 1;
means right blocks are shown and 0 means not shown
