I am having problems to import my WebBBS data. The threading is not working correctly. The threading data in WebBBS is handled so that WebBBS adds a PREVIOUS>?? tag to each message that is an answer to another message, where ?? is the number of the previous message that the message is an answer to. Here is an example of how a thread in WebBBS could look:
Original threads/posts in WebBBS:
Imported threads/posts in vBulletin using impex:
As you can see the import is not using the PREVIOUS>?? tags in the WebBBS data correctly and messes up the threads.
Anyone have any ideas on how to correct this? Is it possible for impex to base its threading just on the data given in the PREVIOUS>?? tags in each message in the WebBBS messages? I'm not very used to vBulletin impex imports so I'm a bit confused how threads should be handled in a multi-threaded import where a thread is split into several sub-threads
Original threads/posts in WebBBS:
Code:
Message 1 Message 2 Message 3, answer to message 2 Message 4, answer to message 3 Message 5, answer to message 2 Message 6, answer to message 5
Imported threads/posts in vBulletin using impex:
Code:
Message 1 Message 6 Message 2 Message 3 Message 4 Message 5
