well, i had a bit of a malor problem while attampting the
conversion

What i did was simply upload into my existing forum folders the conv_posts.php & then edit each one indivigually as to direct the posts from that folder into the appropriate forum, then call each conv_posts.php one at a time just by changing the URL from "www.mysite.com/..../forum1/conv_posts.php" to "www.mysite.com/..../forum2/conv_posts.php" and so on.

well, i got through about 5 forums without a problem & i was about to offer to have LoB's baby for him then things turned real ugly real fast. While the script was running on the 5th forum, it got about 50% complete & returned an error.
(i didn't copy the error, but it was something on line 122 & now the only way for me to get the error is to run the script again which i really don't want to do 'cause i've already begun repairing the problem it caused)

now all of my threads have been merged (one form the vb board & 1 from the IB) and all were moved into a single forum AHHHH

to rectify the problem, i now have to split each thread manually & move it to it's appropriate forum.

I honestly don't know what caused the error with only one of the forums 'cause it worked flawlessly on the others.

I post this not to complain, just as a warning to others who are considering utilizing the script. I sincerely do appreciate LoB's efforts!!
