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.

Restrictions imposed by some server hosting providers can cause problems. The most common causes are: values too low for the PHP settings <code>memory_limit</code> and <code>max_execution_time</code>. Limits on the allowed CPU time are also a frequent cause for such errors, as are limits on the number of database queries allowed. If you cannot change such settings, then contact your hosting provider or run the conversion procedure on a different computer. The phpBB.com forums are also an excellent location to ask for support.</p> - <p><strong>Password conversion</strong> Due to the utf-8 based handling of passwords in phpBB3, it is not always possible to transfer all passwords.
