    A two part-UBB import question.

    I installed my vBulletin two days ago, and I, and my forumgoers all love it. We had previously been running a UBB and I tried to import it into the vBulletin. While all the user accounts and forums imported correctly for the most part, the posts did not, therefore my main page had a long list of empty forums. Is there anything I can do to fix this and get my posts back?

    My other question may be an odd one. Before this UBB, we had a different UBB, owned by my forum's previous owner. One of the members saved each and every thread as an HTML file before the forum was closed. We have no other files for this UBB other than these threads. Is there an outside chance these threads could be imported into the vBulletin as well? I'm not expecting a positive response to that but it would be neat

    On the first question did you run the import for each of your UBB forums? It's been a long time since I upgraded from UBB but I do believe I had to specifically choose each forum.

    As for the second question, this won't work with the existing import script. However someone may be able to write a hack to do this. You might want to make a request over at vbulletin.org.
