Snitz forum database access to vbulletin

[janaf]

I converted my Snitz about half a year ago.

Importing the Access file to mySQL was a breze with the mySQL import application.

Then the actual conversion worked well. There where a few issues; Internal links made in postings where broken. I did not find anything in Impex to fix this. My board did not import in a way where post IDs retained the same ID number so it was not so trivial to do a search / replace operation on the links. Maybe it would work if the source dB was sorted in numerical order before the import and also I guess the source needs to be totally free from deleted posts.

Impex did not import the image gallery add-on.

I had to import to dB 3.X and then update to 4.0 There was no direct Snitz-vB4 at that time.

Apart from this the import worked well and Impex may have developed since then.
