XF 2.2 Importing a PBB3 forum

[Frank Chino]

I have a new install of Xenforo on HostGator. I have a PBB3 forum on a server which is on Liquid Web.

Can I have the Xenforo importer do the transfer from another server or must I transfer the PBB3 forum to the HostGator server first? I don't see an option in the "Configure Importer" screen in Xenforo.

It's possible to do imports from another server but requires some setting up.

Our advice is to move the phpbb forum to the same server as XF and do it there.

Hmmm, OK. Never crossed my mind about it not easily being able to do that. I'll just move PPB again. Thanks.
