    Having problems importing forums

    None of my forums will import. It says "invalid category object, skipping. options" 5 times and then "invalid forum object, skipping.options" 20 times. Then the import screen says 0 imported 0 failed. This is importing from ikonboard 3.x to vbulletin 3.5.4 . Also although the rest of the things import successfully, when I go to the board I don't see my users although I know they are in the table because I did a sql query and saw them.

    So what am I missing?

    Thanks in advance,
    Heather

    Another problem...I can't seem to import attachments. When it says "Path to attachments upload folder" does that mean everything including the web address like http://www.mywebsitename.com/forums/uploads ? cuz when it attempts the import it says "Skipping, no source file -> filename.jpg"

    That was a 1.31 issue, download 1.32

    The path would be something like :

    /usr/home/ortegah/public_html/ikon_board/attachments/

    opposed to the URL.
    I wrote ImpEx.

      How do I download version 1.32? If I go to the members area and click the "Download Impex" link it doesn't give me a choice as to what version to download.

        Simply redownload, it'll always download the newest version.
