              I said "should be" I did not say "will be". It is not quite ready yet.

                    Can you check and see? My board gets over 30,000 views a day and UBB 6.2 is dying on a dual 1.1 Mhz box with a gig of ram. I have seen vbulletin handle that with no problems at all.

                    We have to get our board converted soon, we are DYING. I was serious when I said I would paypal whoever gets this done for me. We are loosing advertisers and I would rather keep my revenue and PAY you to make the upgrade.

                    Please, I am begging you, get the import scripts done or let me hire one of you to write it.

                      What should happen when using the current UBB6.x importer? I'm helping a UBB6.2 board convert, and they were under the impression the problem is only with PMs?

                      I tested migrating their board, the script runs fine, but at the end, only members and forums are imported. The thread and post tables are empty.??

                        Exactly what happened here too.

                        I could care less about PM's. I just don't want too loose 3 years of quality posts. We have over 171884 posts in our busiest form.
                        I have to get them imported over to the new software and cut off UBB before I kill myself. It locks everything up all the time

                          I'm in the same position as you. My UBB is dying and I stand to lose advertising revenue as a result of this delay.

                          I thought I could get around the problem by converting from UBB to Threads and then to vBulletin, but how wrong I was...

                          Is there an ETA yet for the import script?

                            Please give us a real ETA. I find it very rude that you would treat our request as trivial.

                              The "real" ETA is it will be done when it's done. We do not know when that will be. I can give you dates till I turn blue but that will not make it appear any faster nor will you be happy when it is not released on those dates.

                                We're very sorry about the delays, but some of the new data formats that UBB is using have been proving rather tricky to decode. We will provide you with the script as soon as we humanly can, but we cannot say when that will be.

                                Apologies for any inconvenience,
