Convert my exsisting board?
 
HiFolks,

I have this msg board using a free service so it has pops ups and I cant add hacks and stuff to it. Basically it looks a bit crappy.

I now have like over 250 members with awuite a few regular posters, so i thought Id maybebuy a VB board for them to use.

I want to know if I can convert all the old posts etc into the new VB board?
Link to exsisting board

thanks for the hellp.

greets
Entity

what type of board is it? I see hyperboard but never heard of it.

Most likely you'll be able to.

Take alook here- http://www.vbulletin.org/hacks/index...howcat&catid=8

thanks for that :)

I see it works for EZ boards, but i dont think hyperboards is exactly the same as them ?

Davey 03-03-2003 03:55 PM
The devs over at vbulletin.com are looking for more boards to make converters for so that more people can convert their forums to vbulletin with no hastle.
I would wait to see if they clarify that hyperboards will convert to vbulletin using the EZ boards converter.
If not, they should begin coding a converter for hyperboards also :).

Dave.

filburt1 03-03-2003 05:01 PM
Either way there will be no more official converters until 3.0.0, and they'll instead first update all the existing converters to work.

Erwin 03-03-2003 06:47 PM
There is no actual "converter" for ezboard - the vB Team actually manually imports the THREADS and FORUMS from ezboard for you - you can't do it yourself. They CANNOT import MEMBERS for you. It takes them around 2 days to do it.

Entity 03-03-2003 06:57 PM
sorry if this sounds a bit thick, but if they import the threads but not members then are all posts just logged as "guest" ?

I asked about a convertor on vb.com forums and they told me to ask here :)

Entity 03-03-2003 07:03 PM
heres my thread on vb.com forums :)

Erwin 03-03-2003 11:58 PM
Yes, all the members are "guests", but there is a hack released that automatically link ezboard members to their posts when they register with the same username. Look for it.

Entity 03-04-2003 03:49 PM
sounds good, altho no point me looking for it if It only supports EX boards and not hyperboards :(
