will do... probably tomorrow though... i will be leaving before it gets finished!

after it imports threads, what is left?

PMs, Options, and to update counters...that's all

well the conversion went good w/the exception of some of the bb code... for example ->
so some of the pages are a little messed up but the conversion went pretty good all in all.

.........what?

Sorry, didn't understand that one at all :P

Tell me more about some pages screwing up, and what do you mean some BBCode reverted?

i found little snipets of html within some posts. not sure if it should be there or not. i haven't had time to look over the board as much as i would like to.

can you tell me what kinds of HTML? Bold Tags...Link Tags...Font Tags...give me some info!! ;)

I haven't had much time lately to keep testing the script. My phpBB forums are now cleared from all problems encountered from importing from IB, so I have a 100% working database.

I imported everything into Vbulletin and this time it went much better than before, if fact there are just a couple of problems this time.

The first is the members, it does imports them but does not merge them at all. i.e where members had the same username at phpBB as in vBulletin, they appear as duplicates (2 Charles, 2 John, etc) That is nothing too serious as I can fix it manually.

The main problem are the dates and I've tried everything. Not with the date they registered but with the date of posting. i.e May 23rd, 2037 03:59 In all the posts, the dates are wrong. They year is always in the future.

Anyone else having this problem or knows how it can be fixed? I'm not talking about importing into an empty database, that may work, but one which has members and posts already.

Apart from that, it's perfect.

so far i've only seen bold and link tags.

okie, I'm reconverting my test board (provided by ParentStep.com). I will see what is wrong with the bold and link tags not working. Also Juan, That problem can be fixed about the dupe usernames. Just tell me how I should change it ;) Also, I'm looking into the whacked post dates...

I'll let you know what happens, and if i'm able to reproduce some of your errors.

Hmm...I reproduced the all the errors but the post date/time bug, and fixed them. As for that, it worked completely fine for me. Since it is not broken for me, I won't try to fix it. Try converting again, and make sure that you are using phpBB version 1.4.0 or higher. If you still get something messed up with the post date/times...please send me a link where I can download a copy of your phpBB database (or a direct link to phpMyAdmin).

Here's the new release. I fixed some BBCode issues...what happened was, I removed the insensitivity flag in the preg_replaces in the HTML2vBCode function. So, only HTML tags that were uppercase were changed. That's now fixed. This version, you really only need to use it if you want to try to import a database, I did not add any new features.
