SMF Support > Converting to SMF

Conversion success :)

(1/4) > >>

Powerbob:
Well after reading the instructions in one thread I gave it a go and converted my Inv Board to a test install of smf. I must say it went without a hitch :D I have over 27000 posts so it took a while, but went totally smoothly. The only thing I had to do was set my members and moderators in there groups the same as they had before and just recount statistics etc and that was it.

Oh and the general Board settings of course but that is normal on a new BB software install. I had installed 2 themes before conversion and they were still there afterward 8) all in all I have to say a big "Thank You"

I'm glad it went well for you.

If you're looking for someone specific to thank, I would have to say Grudge - he is the person who put the most work and effort into the Invision converter, and I must say he did a great job.

If you have any more comments, suggestions, or want to note on any way the conversion could have been smoother... please tell us.

(oh, and I edited just a small typo out of the link ^_^, don't mind me.)

Thanks,

Hi Grudge, I am told you are the person I have to thank for the great converter.
I must say went really well, surprising how little interaction was required. I received a couple of time-outs while converting but that was down to line probs, and after hitting the refresh button it continued on it's merry way :D

I would recommend changing the text when the converter stops (in your words, to save server overload) " there is a problem" it put the ******s up me the first time I saw it  ;D ;D

Thanks, It went like a dream

regards

Bob

Grudge:
Thanks a lot Powerbob! I didn't do all the work but it's always good to hear that these things went well. I know the converter has a few bugs which have been fixed for the next beta - but glad it generally went well :)

Hey Grudge.. thanks also from me. My conversion went smoothly as well. The only problem that I encountered is that none of my IPB calendar entries were transfered in the calendar. Is this not part of the script yet? Any idea how I can get the data transfered over to the new SMF calendar?

Thanks again for the great work!
