I just purchased vBulletin so I could run an import from Discus 4.00.7 and my first trial run of the import seemed to go okay until one of my users from the Discus system attempted to log in. It seems their password would not work. I re-ran the conversion after doing an export of the users and passwords in the Discus Database Manager (SQL to flat file) hoping that would help, but it didn't.
Is this normal? I don't see "Passwords" listed in the list of imported profile fields, so I'm assuming this is normal.
If this is the case, does this mean when I do my final import and go live I need to tell all my members to use the forgotten password utility to reset their password?
One other thing, does the importer have trouble with Discus Sub-Forums? My discus board had many, and all were goofed up in import. I can always move the sub-forums out to the main forum folder, and I guess that will fix the problem, but it's a bunch of work I'd rather not do if I didn't have to.
