you should add an idea of integrating a skin converter so that users can convert phpbb styles into IPB skins

It would good if there was a way to convert old styles too. I don't even know if something like that could be made but it sure would be nice.

im no expert, but i kno thats a bad idea. For one thing the skin that is going to get converted might be copyrighted, and then you will have to go through that whole proccess, and then it will become pointless to have.

I don't think that will ever be possible, but you never know.

For now, you have to convert yourself or pay someone.

Too many template differences, especially between versions. Waste of time IMO.
