The first importer has taken longer than expected, and with that I needed to start work on 7.1.1 as well, as bug fixing for current customers always takes priority. In the final testing on the Eve importer at which point we'll get 7.1.1 out in beta and then I'll work on the vb one which shouldn't take nearly as long.

Yep, it's being worked on. Their database is pretty tough to figure out all of the relations and how to import everything. I'm trying to make it so I can import as much as possible, but I'm finding a few sticking points.

Just checking in, how's the import for vBulletin coming along?

The problem has been that I've been trying to write it so it will import everything and some of the things just don't port over that well. I've got it doing users, forums, and categories, have spent a fair amount of time trying to get forum/user permissions to carry over but I've had to redo this several times.
I may have to end up doing something a bit more basic to start like I did for the Eve importer and then expand from there. We're also going to look into making some type of import system that is more modular so instead of having to recreate it for each different product it will be easier to create new ones.
Sorry I don't have better news on this. Trying to balance time spent on it without pushing back the release cycle too much.
Thanks for the update and sorry to hear it's being such a pain.
Any kind of thought on when you might even have anything up and going? Just curious as to how to plan my forums future and when it might be good to check back here, without being overly obnoxious about it? (I know you're busy.)
