BTW, you can install a seperate ubb install to test the importer; the more users we have to test the importers the better testing can be done and bugs end up ironed out. Most of the beta testers don't use competing products so it's quite difficult for us to test them how they'd need to be tested (in fact, i was the only user testing the phpbb importer when it was initially worked on, hence why it's the onlyone that's been complete for some time)

Okay, I gotta ask since it's been awhile. Any updates?

Well, if you're willing to be a guinea pig It's tested pretty much as good as we can, now we just need some testing from others.

Ah, gotcha. Well, the board I help out with is on a shared server and doing any kind of updates, imports, tests, etc. is very difficult to almost impossible at times. If the owner decides to go through with this then we'd literally have one shot at doing it, since in the past any updates or imports have usually updset our hosting company, unfortunately. We'd literally do it once and then walk away with probably a warning.

I guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for now. Thanks for the update though.

Well, most webhosts are understanding when you email them in advance with your intentions. When they randomly login and see a huge load they get worried that a user site has been exploited.

If possible and your site is not too large maybe using a backup copy of the site, set it up on your local computer and try a conversion locally..

yeh, that too is a great idea; as i'm sure your local PC has more resources than what your webhost has available (at least in SD's case)

muhahaha.. i guess i should post my SysMark scores

Please do, then maybe I'll post mine

I need to run that on our server too

I can test it as well Rick.
