Impex and swapping board

[lasto]

Am having a mega problem at the moment.

Have used impex to grab the posts/threads/Members etc from one board to a fresh installed board.All that has gone fine.

Now the board im grabbing from has attachments stored in a folder on the Server.How do i get attachments to show on the new board.

Board (A) where im grabbing everything from has them on the server
Board (B) in admincp/attachments says they are stored in the Database

so how do i implement them and merge them back into my threads/Posts on board (B)

cheers as its doing me head in :)

What if you were to move the attachments on board B from the database to the file system and then try again? Just a thought :) If that doesn't do it you can always try asking in the official import forum here http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=92 Jerry is the man over there and will most likely have a quick answer for you.

i managed to get the attachments over - but it only moved 2000 odd out of 3500

also i have loads of zero bytes attachments is there anyway i can remove em ?
