Ok guys, this is pretty much a make it, or break it question for me to purchase VBoard.

Right now I am using Invision Board. I like it a lot, but like VBoard better.

What I am wondering is, is there a hack available to transfer members and posts to the VBoard??

If there is no way to do this, I do not think I'll purchase.

I think I have seen something about vbulletin having a invisionboard converter.

Here are the official scripts that currently allow you to import into vBulletin:

Quote:

We currently offer a set of scripts that will allow you to import posts, threads and users from the following programs: Infopop Ultimate Bulletin Board 5, Infopop Ultimate Bulletin Board 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2, Infopop UBBThreads 5.4 (formerly wwwthreads), vBulletin Lite, Infopop OpenTopic/UBB.x, Ikonboard 2, Ikonboard 3, phpBB2, DC Forum, XMB, and ezboard (posts only, not members for ezboard).

You may find that you can convert Invision to one of these and then one of these to vBulletin.

NTLDR, Invision Board is a brand new board that took to the market recently. None of the above vBulletin importers will work.

I think it is time for Jelsoft to release a Invision Board...There has been numerous requests at VBdotCOM

What does that mean nessacarily? I am not very computer saavy, people set up my php script for me.

So there is no way to convert my members and threads over? :cry:

I really wanted VBoard.

Goldknight read ManagerJosh's post.

I am also very interested in a IB to vB 2.2.7 converter. Any vB hackers here working on such a converter? Since there won't be one from Jelsoft til vB3 is out which is way too far for me and probaly others, this is wanted greatly.

MistyMeanor · #8 09-14-2002, 02:47 AM

Yes I totally agree. I am wanting to switch as soon as possible. Is there nobody out there that can make a converter from IB to VB?

I know

which is why I said that you would need to convert from invision to one of the boards vB supports and the convert to vB. I didn't say a converter was avalible as I know was isn't and probably won't be untill vB3 is realeased.

So the importers will work if you can export Invision to phpBB for example.

I believe ManagerJosh is saying that because IB is new there aren't any converters from IB to any of the boards you posted.

Anybody up to making one?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
