Re: auto register
No tech skill is needed and offering money for work is against rule 1k
Information on how to convert from phpBB2 to phpBB3 is here.
Basically, you must have both phpBB2 and phpBB3 installed on the same server. After you have finished installing phpBB3 you will have the option to convert your phpBB2 board using the built in converter. The information it asks you for is related to the phpBB2 installation and can be found in its config.php file on the server. All of your users, posts, forums, PMs etc are converted. However, styles and MODs are not (with the exception of the birthday and attachment MODs which are supported by the converter). The phpBB2 database is not converted per se, it is merely read and converted/moved to the new phpBB3 database, so if it goes wrong your old board will not be affected at all. At the end of the conversion, once you're happy it's all working, your phpBB2 database and files can be backed up and removed if you so wish. They are not connected to the new installation in any way.

Re: auto register
I don't know what you mean by "authorization code." Are you referring to the CAPTCHA?
Have you hugged someone today?

Re: auto register
In the slot to register my authorization code is mystories that was added by Lumpy but I have heard of the word Captcha When you register it asks to sign in with a word after you enter your profile information. Where do I go find this on the forum to change the word?
Thank you
Thank you

Re: auto register
Yes you mentioned that and you also sent me info how to convert but I am an idiot where it comes to things like this and I was hoping someone could help me convert my board. Yes you sent me how to do it but my luck and lack of knowledge I would mess things up. Apparently I will have to go somewhere else as it seems no one is kind enough to assist me.
