      Alxnet Guestbook Importers

      Would love to see a feature where vb can import Alxnet Guestbooks like these:

      'Cause they were widely used, and it would be nice to preserve the data in it.....

              How far back down the UBB classic chain does the ubb.classic 6.7 converter cover? I'm working on a system to replace an old UBB classic 5.47. Plans were to convert into vB 2.3.5 then upgrade to 3.0.1, but if I can import directly into 3.0.1 that would obviously be preferable.

                I've only ever had enough test data to get it working with 6.3 , I've never had the chance to test it with that version so I couldn't say what would happen.

                  Under PNphpBB2, it says that it needs test data. I thought I already sent the data, or did something go wrong in the process?

                    Nope its all good, but you can never have enough test data, one board might show up something on an import that something else might not.

                          Nope I can't the work load at the moment is too dynamic and there are some higher priority importers that are going to take a while due to being file based.

                            Defiantly, though there are too many bugs with the current importers that I/we need to get sorted along with some functionality that didn't make it into the core with the release, like attachments and internal link parsing.

                            I'd like to get what we have running as smooth as possible before putting time into more importers. There are 13 out now and 3 more in dev with 4 more waiting that I have data for now.

                            Also by the time that’s all sorted there should be some nice IPB 2 boards available as test data for me to use.

                            I've put it on the poll.

                              Can you reset the poll, or maybe start a new one? It seems wrong to have so many options that are already done. And did you think that some people may have more than one type of forum they wish to convert? And since they can only vote once, you won't really know what their needs are.

                              Also, is vb2 one of the ones in dev?

                                I'm leaving the ones that are done in there for completeness so I don't get asked for them when they are already done.

                                The poll is multi vote so people can vote for as many as they like, I made it like that from day one.

                                vB2 is not in dev at the moment, the ones that are or are waiting have notes next to the forum type name.
