UltraBoard 2.2.x importer released!

Please do not contact me via ICQ, Email, PM or anything other way than this thread any more!

Okay... this is my UB2k 2.2.x to vBulletin 2.0.x importer. It can import styles (= skins), users, forums, moderators, posts and private messages.

This Importer has been created for vBulletin 2.0.3! The most things work correctly with 2.2.x (it will import the styles, users, forums, moderators, posts and private messages) but some features like setting new passwords for admins doesn't work. I don't want to create a new version as I don't think there are many UB2k users left who could import...

This script does not work with the vB import system as I wanted to have it independent of the vB directory (some servers are not able to read files in directories like ../../ub2k/). You can upload the script to any directory where you can access the UB2k directory and the vBulletin database.

A manual is in the zip file. Please do not email or pm me if you have questions or found bugs. Please simply answer the thread.

Known bugs:
- On some servers you need to chmod the directory "ubimporter" to 777...

It has been a popular forum system (written in perl) but then the developer has given up and so it's dead now...

Try to upload the ubimporter.php into your vbulletin directory (and create the ubimporter directory in it, too) - maybe you are only allowed to run php scripts in some locations on the webserver, and as vbulletin works, it seems its directory works fine...

Still no luck. Any other recommendations?
