Problems with UBB import

[Craig Antill]

Having problems with the datestamp and ordering of topics when importing from UBB. See http://ten-tenths.accelerator.org/newforum/showthread.php?threadid=165 and http://ten-tenths.accelerator.org/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002166.html for a prime example. Hell, it's not even the 29th May yet, and it's showing on the imported posts as if it was!

What's wrong ?

Forgot... all closed topics are now open :(

Appears to be an issue with 24-hour clocks (damn us Americans and our annoying 12-hour clocks!)

I'll take a quick look at the code and see what is to be changed.

[EDIT: Maybe not... I'm not sure why it did that]

I think that I've figured out those import dates. I have also fixed that closed topics problem.

Excellent - will this be in the next release this week ? If so, i'll wait til then for opening the site :)

If one had been so eager to ditch one's old software that one installed VBulletin before this problem was fixed, would there be a way to fix the jumbled datestamps in the VBulletin version of the thread?

Or would one have to go back to an old UBB copy of the thread and re-import it after fixing the problem?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I believe you would have to redo, but dont quote me on that one:)

Did you notice a significant amount of jumbled messages? We only noticed a couple in about 50,000!

YES! Lots :(

John, is the fix included in the new version ?
