      Did you go to the Impex settings and see if it was in the drop down?

          thanks.
          There was a problem with the CVS tree and the download hadn't been updated yet as far as I am aware. Should be available tomorrow, sorry for the false start.

                Hi Jerry -- Now I'm really confused. Judging by this post, the converter that's listed as "done," i.e., "DC Forum+ / Discus Pro" is actually only DC Forum and not Discus. You apparently misinterpreted my request of several weeks ago to add Discus to the poll (though you referred to flat file or MySQL backend -- both of which could mean Discus), and now I erroneously rallied, and misdirected other Discus users to vote for DC Forum, pushing it up to "finished" status very quickly. As I alluded to in this thread, I have been going back and forth with vBulletin staff for quite some time now. Now, I fear that even if you do add Discus to the poll, it will be a start from ground-zero, and all of us who voted for DC Forum or "other" will have no recourse.
                Well said Jacob!

                I have been getting by with a link back to my old Discus forum for the old messages, but I agree with Jacobs comments and feelings. Discus was not even on the list if I recall when this first started. How many of the 16 votes for DC were actually for Discus and how many votes were cast for something else before Discus made it on the list that cant be changed to the correct selection now that its available? I see now there is a seperate Discus listing now but with 0 votes, we all know that does not truely reflect the interest in an importer for Discus.

                I also see that its listing the intent to test on user accounts and I assume that plans to test importing the messages from a Discus forum, would be following closely after? All my users have long already migrated themselves over to the vB forum and anyone who has not, can easily create their new account so, my situation for example, the message importer portion would be much more pratical.

                Like I said, I personally am working around it fine and its not something I "have to have this second" so please dont take my comments that way. But, I can see how there can be a level of fustration that we cant even properly reflect our need for something that should have been on the listing from the get go.

                  The poll is just one influence in the decision making for the order they are done in.

                  DC had hardly any votes and was done for other reasons.

                  The belief that the Discus votes effected the DC+ importer is completely wrong.

                            What is your estimate for the time the PNphpBB2 importer will be released?

                                I have test data for PNphpBB2. How can I send it over to the vB team?
