View Full Version : Question about conversions

When converting a database to vB, does it change anything in the actual posts or PM's? Specifically, if I link to a post elsewhere in the forum in one of my posts will it update that link so it will still work after the conversion (because the URL format would be different & stuff)?

in my experience with the scripts it will not. This would be very hard to program into the script, and would bog down the server/converter script. On the other hand, I didn't use an official vb importer because an official one for InvisionBoard does not yet exist. I highly doubt, though, that any official importer has these either.

No, the import scripts do not rewrite the links in posts.
