converting from QSF 1.5.1 to SMF - converter help

(1/5) > >>

Hi,
I am trying to convert to SMF from quicksilver forum (newest version) 1.5.1 and the converter script on the download page is old..  For version 1.2.1 , and it is not making much progress. 

The conversion page shows this after the attempt:

Converting...
Converting members... Successful.
Converting categories... Successful.
Converting boards... Successful.
Converting topics...Duplicate entry '634' for key 1

That is as far as it will go. 

Any thoughts on what I may need to change to get it going, or has anyone done a conversion script for this newest version? 
We recently upgraded to this new version, because we hated the old one, and this is no better. 
So, we need to change it to the SMF forum software. 

Thank you,
Tim  L

Ok,
I read through the only other topic I could find on QSF conversion, and it is real old.  None of the help mentioned on that thread applies now days.
I do see that it successfully imported the 6015 members, and the categories.  That is about as far as it got.

Thank you for any assistance,

Tim L

Welcome to the forum, man! (Even if it is for something yukky).

Have a look at these:

Maybe one of the fixes, in those, will be relevant?

Hi,
Yes, I have read through many many pages on that same search. 

There are a lot with errors like that, but I have seen no answers as to how to fix the issue posted. 

I tried repairing the db,, there were no errors. 
I tried also to remove the offending topic, and it did just what I expected...  errored on 635 now.    I saw others post to try that, and it didn't help the others either, but hey, it was worth a try, it was a non important post anyways. 

I tried reading through the sql file that came with the convert script, but it seems to be over my head trying to find what needs changed in it. 

The SMF forum is the only one I can find that even has a convert script for the quick silver forum, but it is so old...   
It may have worked before we upgraded to the new version, but that is a mute point since it is upgraded and there is no way back.  We upgraded a month ago trying to get more options...  Now we just need to move on, and SMF looks like a real nice forum program. 

Thank you,
Tim L

You don't have a backup from when you were on the old version, I s'pose?
