    UBBT to VB3x

    Hi,

    I want to buy a vb3x but I am actually running an UBBT 6.2.3 and I am wondering that there seems to be no planned import script for that.

    Does anyone here know how to import my data from UBBT to vb3x ?

    Without a chance to import my stuff there is no chance for me to switch...

    Kind regards

    yes, you would upgrade from your ubbthreads to 2.3.2 then upgrade that to vb3b5

    i belive the importer works, a mod/dev might know more about how it works

      This is the same answer I got from the vb support but its not working.

      UBBT 6.2.3 is for example using MD5 passwords, vB 2.x as far is I know not. I've read about many many problems so I don't think that this is a solution for me. I've thousands of posts and do not want to loose anything of have complaining users which can't login anymore...

      A direct script to import to vb3 is a must I think and will enlarge the vb3 community.

          The import scripts will be updated when vB3 final is released. It doesn't make sense to do this until we have the final version.

            Aaah, this is a word. Thanks for the answer, I will wait then for the final release and if it contains a useable and working import script I will go and buy a license :-)

              vB2 DOES use MD5 hashed passwords. vB3 uses a weird mix of MD5 hashes. If you import to vB 2.3.2, and then follow the upgrade procedures to vB3 Beta 5, it _should_ work.
