Hello,
I just purchased vB with the intention of converting from a PunBB (1.1.5) forum which is supported by Impex.
Two problems:
1) In the Impex package, file "vbfields.php" I had to remove the ";" on line 28 in order for the installer to work. As it was, when I would run Import from the AdminCP, it would say "There seems to have been a slight problem with the database.." and would not continue. Page source revealed a "mysql error number: 1064" which I isolated the extra ";" character.. after removing that, it ran normally.
2) I was able to do the database conversion from PunBB to vB, and everything seems to be fine, but when me and other users tried to log in, we found that none of our old passwords worked.
vB conversion (working, now in use): www.iaudiophile.net/forums (http://www.iaudiophile.net/forums)
As it is, I'm having users manually change thier passwords via the "lost password" function
Thank you,
Austin
