Just a warning!!!! Impex has not been upgraded to run with vB4.0, therefore it cannot make the huge change to the attachment area that needs to be done. Most likely you will LOSE ALL YOUR OLD ATTACHMENTS if you use this method. I suppose, if you didn't make a backup of your database in the first place and you are happy just to have your forums back that this is no big deal. But, if it is a big deal and you do have a backup somewhere, that may be the better option for you. You will need to weigh whether an old backup with lots of lost threads/posts but with attachments is better than a bunch of recent threads/posts but no attachments.
