Ok, sorted that, It was in strict mode. I've imported everything fine and recounted it.
I have admin access to the zetaboards but i have noticed that boards only admins can see and the posts in the admin boardsd didn't copy over and also the users email address didn't copy over either??

I have full admin right on the zetaboards.

nneonneo

You *should* be able to convert the admin boards, unless the cookie is wrong (you may try rerunning the get_cookie script).

As for emails, they can copy over if you can see them on their profile. If they have taken measures to hide their email, you might not be able to convert it.

What exactly is invisionplus? How does it differ from standard IPB/ipbfree?

Okay I need some help..

Every has went easy for me until adding the sql..

Mostly because the information for that part is limited.

Can someone give me step by step on what I am suspose to do with the .sqls?

I am loving how easy this converter is and I am hoping it be able to switch me from ipbfree :D.

Install SMF, then go to phpMyAdmin (or another tool you use to administrate the database on your webhost), and import the SQL files into the database.

Thanks trying it now :D .

Edit: Okay it got the members,but when uploading the .sql I get this error -

Error     SQL query:     
         TRUNCATE  TABLE  `smf_users` ;

     
     MySQL said: Documentation   #1146 - Table 'twitch_smf1.smf_users' doesn't exist

What table prefix did you install SMF with? You must use that as table_prefix in settings.py.

Uhmm If I am right it is -

twitch_smf1

To be sure can you tell me where the table prefix is normally found?

nneonneo

twitch_smf1 is the database name. The table prefix is the prefix of every table in that database: for example, my table prefix is "smf_", so I have tables named "smf_members" and "smf_messages". You may have a different prefix, and that needs to be put in settings.py.
