Great! We have a tool called Vanilla Porter that can help you migrate from many other popular platforms.</p><h2 data-id="overview">Overview</h2><p><a href="https://open.vanillaforums.com/addon/porter-core" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Download Vanilla Porter</a></p><p>Vanilla Porter is a tool that you can upload to your current web server to run in your web browser. It exports any platform to a generic format that the “Import” option in your new Vanilla Forum can read.</p><p>All imports will completely overwrite all data in your forum (including your users), so only import to a fresh forum installation that doesn’t have any data you want to save. We recommend backing up your Vanilla database first as an extra precaution.</p><h2 data-id="resources">Resources</h2><p><a href="https://docs.vanillaforums.com/developer/importing/support" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Supported platforms & compatibility notes</a></p><p><a href="https://docs.vanillaforums.com/developer/importing/porter" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Using Vanilla Porter</a></p> </article> </main>
