    Importing UBB.classic polls?

    How much longer before before UBB.classic poll topics can be imported into vB? I've been putting off switching to vB for two years because I was told that when vB 3 is released, a full importer will be available, but I see polls are still on the to-do list. Very disappointing.

      its under development:

      Development :
      Compatibility with 6.2, only gets about 75% of posts currently.
      Polls.
      as stated in this thread: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=102412

            The importers are undergoing continual development. Importing Polls is new functionality which requires a lot of work because of the way Infopop stores the data. If it were straightforward it would have been in there already.

            All we can say is monitor the status of the importers in the status thread. As they are updated that thread is updated.

              I know what it entails, I've been asking for it for 2 years now, I've heard all about it. Just haven't seen any results yet. *sigh*

                Still nothing, and Jerry has ubb.classic 6.7 on the list as "(done)". Hello?! Polls make 1/4 of our posts, how can you list something as "done" when your importer only gets 3/4 of it? For pete's sake, if you can't come up with a decent complete importer, at least invent something that will take a snapshot of the polls as they are when the importer is run, and import that. ANYTHING, just do SOMETHING!

                  VB should improve poll at first to be more advanced like UBB or more, then importer will be available at that time.

                    I'm sick and tired of having to beg for this over and over, still without any results. I promised my community we'll be getting rid of UBB and upgrade to vB as soon as 3 comes out. Now it's been out for months, and still no sign of a complete importer. But hey, I'll soon get so sick and tired of this crap I'll just pay for UBB again and you won't hear from me any more. As for my community, I'll just tell them Jelsoft ate their promises about a complete UBB importer, so we can't switch to vB. I'm sure they'll understand.

                      I dont wish to appear rude, however the importer gets almost everything else without fail, it would seem to me a few polls would not be a large worry. Ive rarely seen polls used on most sites.

                      The important stuff does get imported, posts, threads, forums, users. And if ive read this right, only 75% of the polls get imported for 6.2 not 6.3-6.7 however i could be wrong.

                        Well, our site's not like most of the others you've seen then. We've got thousands of topics with polls in them, which become completely meaningless if the poll isn't imported along with the topic. Do you think I'd be making this fuss if polls weren't a large worry to us?!

                        And if ive read this right, only 75% of the polls get imported for 6.2 not 6.3-6.7 however i could be wrong.
                        Yes, I believe you are. As far as I know, Jelsoft never had an importer for polls with any version of UBB.

                            Doesn't Jerry have a test one he used to make importers?
