Hello,

We are working on the import of a large YabbSE board to vB 3.6.

YabbSE uses a quote code which is somewhat different than vB. Something like:
[quote author=UserName link=board=26;threadid=9205;start=900#msg529026 date=1184872859]

vB doesn't detect this format and displays the tag as-is. It makes the forum very unreadable.

Is there any way to add some kind of support for this quote format, or at least convert all these tags to a plain [quote] tags (without any parameters)?

What version of YaBB-SE is that ?

ImpEx tries to parse the source to BBCode that can be used, that can be cleaned up, though depending on the version I can add that to the importer or you could use cleaner.php.

YaBB SE 1.5.1.

Another problem was that quotes were imported as """. I managed to fix that by running this SQL query:

UPDATE post SET pagetext = REPLACE(pagetext, '"', '"') WHERE pagetext LIKE '%&quot%';
But it's better if it'll be fixed at the importer level.
