    unsupported board

    I need to import into vb 3.5 from a custom forum (that is, of course, unlisted in impex boards).
    What is the best way to do it?
    Maybe with txt_file importer (if so, how?)

    The structure of the forum is very simple: there's only a table, with these fields:

    id
    parentid
    threadid
    user
    title
    text
    datetime
    ip

    Personally I'd take a look at another import system, like phpBB2 and go from there.

      phpBB2 seems a bit overkilled to me, since my old board is much simpler and I just need to import messages, not users.

      Any other ideas?

        I will sort that attachment, you can't have post without users unless you want them all as guest.

            Can you make a mysqldump of the table and PM me a link to it so I can have a look and figure out the best way to do it.
