    Import from PunBB, user passwords not working

    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

    As it is, I'm having users manually change thier passwords via the "lost password" function


    Thank you,
    Austin

    regarding the problem with the vbfields.php code...

    ..the dev indicated this was fixed but i just downloaded the impex file last night (Oct. 1 03:00am CT) and it was not. Just FYI.

    also, another problem: the forum names are invisible in the drop-down menu. same issue noted in this thread:

    I've made sure the colors are right (black font, white background) in the adminCP

    you can see that in action at www.iaudiophile.net/forums

    Fixed in the latest ImpEx, you'll need to download ImpEx and then upload and over write ImpExDatabase.php.
