Well, after playing with the new 7.0 version I maybe interested in converting back to ubbthreads from vBulletin 3.5.4

Is there going to be an import tool/script available?

Thanks

Once we get everything stable with 7.0 then I'd like to add to the importer list with vbulletin being one of them. So it's definitely something that will be coming.

rick, when you get there lemme know, i'll import from my UBB.threads to vb then to ubb.threads7 lol...

ok i have imported vbulletin 3.5 to ubbthreads 7.b2.
First i have imported to ubb 6.5.5 whit the yaml file.
Nex install ubb7.2b and import from ubb 6.5.5 now runnig the board live.
Only the qoutes from vbulletin are not good and no pm's are imported.

Here is the ubb 7.2b board www.satsjaak.eu

Sorry for my bad englisch.

Cool, thanks Satsjaak

Any update on this?

It's the next importer that I'll be working on. So as soon as I get a bit of free time I'll be starting on this. However our importers will probably always be for the latest version so this might be written for 3.6 which I think is their latest?

Just bringing this back to the top, I am getting antsy to get the board converted back to ubbthreads

john percival just turned over in his grave

You lost me

hehe, I forget he doesn't take an active role anymore, the new people haven't heard of him

That was the first usefull link that Google gave me.

Just bringing this back up to the top. Any updates?

Unfortunately, haven't had a chance to get much further on this. Quite a few bugs made it past the initial beta testing so we've been spending a majority of the time on getting these fixed before we can go back to the importers. vb is still the first one that we'll be finishing up when I can spend some time on it again.

Awwe, eventhough the PHPBB one is mostly complete?

When again will this be done and why isn't it a higher priority? I'd love to switch over to UBB from vBulletin but I cannot until this is complete. Is there a somewhat real date for accomplishing this?

I'll have time to work on this as soon as we get 7.1 finished. The main reason it's not a higher priority is we have to take care of our current customers first and there are a variety of things that we needed to get into 7.1. That's not to say the importers aren't a priority. Once I actually get started on it, I can't imagine it will take more than a week or so to finish the importer.

Understood, of course. Hopefully it will be soon then so I can switch over.

Thanks for the update.

Just to let Rick know that there are at least 2 people in que to import VB to UBB may be it will help changing its priority

Yeh theres more than a handful from various other products, ipb, vb, fusion, etc... Im really happy that some people who've left the UBB are wanting to come back :nod:

Just a reminder so this isn't forgotten.

Well, 7.1 is out now, so perfect time for a reminder

I'm still interested in the importer also

Rick is working on importers now. Don't know which order he's going to get them done, but he's on them. He didn't forget you either.

I think he said he was going to get the current ones fixed (there are several bugs of the phpbb importer), then move on to vb and fusion.

I for one can't wait to see a UBB.threads 7.x to UBB.threads 7.x importer, so I can combine two threads installs...

7.1 is out, any update on the VB importer now

I believe it's scheduled for after the eve importer which is currently being worked on.
