Import Threads/Posts from MyBB SQL File

[JGreig]

I have a MyBB SQL file for both threads and posts, am I able to import them into the database? I tried editing them to suit the vBulletin tables, but it didn't work for me.

If i am able to do it, could someone explain how? I have also changed a few of the forums, so they might not import to the right ones.

I was going to use the Impex system, but I deleted the MyBB board, so I can't import them that way.

Not really... I was in a similar situation with a thread and post table from another vbulletin and there was no easy way of doing it...

What I was told I'd have to do (and indeed concluded it was probably the only way)

Install a new copy of vBulletin (or in your case mybb)
Copy the posts and thread table to the new database
Make a custom script to iterate through each post and add each unique user to the user table
Once complete use impex to import...

Seems a little daunting for me. I've now just got backup to the post count so I don't think i'll import it now.
