In the conversion file posted by tgmorris in Dec 2003, the following appears:
**** IMPORTANT ****
In order for this script to keep track of messages and to later serve as a reference
point for old bookmarked messages, you will need to make a change to your vBulletin
mySQL database. You will need to insert rows into the "post" table of the
vBulletin database. THIS SCRIPT WON'T WORK WITHOUT THE ADDITION OF THESE ROWS!
i.e. ALTER TABLE post ADD COLUMN originalid int(5);
ALTER TABLE post ADD COLUMN previousid int(5);
Is this really required? After reading the above commented lines, I assume this is for when users have bookmarked posts found in WebBBS and so they can find the same posts when searching in vBulletin. I wonder will the script work fine if I don't amend the 'post' tables in vBulletin...
