Kier, any news regarding the UB2k converter?

[Gossip]

Freddie told me you're in charge of the conversion project now, can you tell us something already?

[NickyNet]

mysql tables exists ?

if mysql:
can you send me a couple of database entries and database structure ?

Ub2k uses the perl crypt function. From what I know (which isn't much :) ) their is no way to decrypt it. So the only option I see is to go through all the code and crypt (if php has a crypt that will operate in the same way) VB passwords.

@Niteowl,

i know...

you told me this few weeks ago ;)

If a converter is made the only way to manage the passwords will be to generate a new password for each user during the conversion process.

[Niteowl]

Nickynet. Sorry, I forgot about that.

UB2K gives you the option of DBI or MySQL.

If you want a mysql dump or some files. Email me

If the board uses encrypted passwords than what will be done (most likely) is an email will be sent to each user informing them of their new password where the new password will just be their encrypted password from the forum we are upgrading from.

... or I'll use the random password generator I built for the vB Lite import system.
