vB2 to vB3: avatars and PMs not importing

[Anthony]

Hey guys,

I converted a vb2 board to a vb3 board, but the avatars and PMs didn't get imported correctly. The avatars dont display. The PMs imported, but the messages inside them are blank. How can I get all the content back in the PMs?

I don't care much for the avatars...its the PMs that I care about.


Am I missing something?

Thanks.

The vB2 importer is still in beta, was this an import? or were you trying to avoid going though the upgrade path?

[Anthony]

Wow, see what happens when you try to import at 4 AM?

lol...thanks Zachery...the upgrade script never even crossed my mind.

Ok, here was my situation.

I went from IPB v1.1.2 to vB2, I then went from vB2 to vB3. I now notice that from the IPB to VB2 conversion, the Signatures don't import. So, in my vb3, I have no sigs.

I set up my vb3 already and I really don't want to go through the whole process again. Is there anyway to just get those sigs from IPB and put them into vb3? Or from IPB to vB2 then from vb2 to vb3? Maybe by using phpMyAdmin the whole way?


*edit*
If you need me to submit a support ticket for this operation, I will do so, I need this fixed as soon as possible.

Check the user table in the database. If the signatrues are truly missing, then there is no way to get them back without redoing the import.

I suggest using the Impex system and import IPB directly to vB3.
