You do what it says, and enter the same password once more - and it should be OK from there on :)

Odd - It should work if the password is correct. Sadly I know nothing of this converter, so I'm probably not much help beyond my last reply.

It should work fine if you enter the same password a second time. You're saying it just gives you the same page again if you re-enter your password?

there are at least two "known" bugs (one was tracked with id 4587, I would have reported the other one but my converter related bug reports have been ignored for a long time, thus I gave up on reporting more)

Bugs:
1) LogInOut.php
Code: [Select]
$other_passwords[] = md5(md5($_POST['passwrd']) . $user_settings['password_salt']);there is a missing stripslashes(); for the password_salt.

2) the password salt in vBulletin is varchar32, therefore the salt column in SMF needs to be changed by the converter (see 4587)

Only buddies are allowed to send me a PM and my buddy list is pretty small ;)

I wonder if this will ever be addressed. I really need for my users NOT to have to change their password just because I switched to SMF.
