Well not so many bugs as some needed changes/additions...

First, the import went beautiful, went fast too...

However, there isn't a place for the table prefix for the phpbb database...

The "sort order" of forums is all out of wack, easy enough to update manually, but some users will get a little annoyed...

I'll post back after doign some more playing...

Well I've gone and looked at various things and it did everything well (other than importing permissions which is designed behavior);...

I'd like to point out that PHPBB has UserGroups as well and would like to request that they be imported to the best of your ability...

I know a lot of sites that use PHPBB and use the usergroups to sort out paid subscribers.. these are large forums that I may be able to pursuade into a faster more reliable product wink...

Well found first blip... Seems that some members are displayed twice in member management... The members that show twice seem to be admin's and mods...

And for some reason only 5 users at a time display in the member management screen... Which gets annoying with more than 1k members as it shows 235 pages or so lol...

The duplicate users in member management is actually a beta 5 bug, fixed for RC1.

Does the table prefix just replace the phpbb_ portion or is it added to that?

Will take a look at the forum sort order and see about importing user groups.

Well, I went into PHPMyAdmin and looked at the database; it seems that each user is displayed only once, i wonder why admin/mod's are displayed twice in the member management???

Ahh kk, glad to hear member management isn't something i did lol...

The prefix is just phpbb_

The sort order and user groups are the only beef from me; its a shame the permissions are so funky, it'd be awesome to make it seemless hehe

Is there a reason why the user titles are "imported user"? heh

Other than the fact that the 2 boards I did a test import with didn't even have titles assigned, no. I'll need to do my own test board and see how regular titles are handled.
