Just because I couldn't find anything about this anywhere else; Where will the converters be placed when they are ready for download? In the members area?

And what main system? the board itself? I thought you had just released a new update

The importer system I'll explain in an announcement when its released.

[nepolia]

Aha. Okey, sorry

I can be patient..

[ITDev]

phpBB2.

Yes this is the correct place.

Yes is done.

It's being release with the main system.

When?

[Jerry]

When?

Once again, this week.

As per the announcement and quite a few posts, though plus the time its taken to write this.

I dont think you get to be sarcastic..

Nope not at all, it is the truth.

I'm glad the phpbb2 one is done... I just wish I could get it. I am ready to convert over ASAP.

I hope UBB classic 6.2x is able to be imported... Will the 6.7 importer be backwards compatible with that?

[Hoobastank68]

Definitely XMB

[Downlo]

Ubb Threads

Hope you do ubb threads also version 6.4

[Ryan Ashbrook]

With the upcoming release of the importer system I'm sorting out the order for which importers to do and what order.

Currently there is: ubb.eve 4.02, ubb.classic 6.7, IPB 1.3 and phpBB2.

Next I'm going to be working on OpenTopic and wBB.

Suggestions ?

When you say wBB you do mean Woltlab's Burning Board, right?

I'd love to see one for Burning Board 1.2 and 2.x.

Although I'd love to see one for vB3, and XMB.

Think you can do a My Bulletin Board one as well?

Jerry,

I want to ask you something. Will the phpBB2 importer support PM's and date-of-birth type of info? The old vB2 importers didn't support this, so I really hope the vB3 ones will.

I have asked for an Import Specification document in another thread of mine somewhere - I'm sure we will get something in a few days that will explain exactly what data-items and tables will be imported etc...
