Hi I just installed SMF and the install went great but the conversion from IPB did nothing but empty my database.
It showed a screen that said everything converted successfully ie.. members, messages, post ect.... but when i went to boards nothing was there and it would not allow me to log in.
I thought the conversion was too fast ( it only took a few seconds) cause I have 900 members and over 35000 post.
Has anyone else had a problem converting from IPB?
Thanx for you help

I am so sorry but I posted this in the wrong area could a Mod please move it to "Converters and Importers".
I also think I found my problem when I was reading in that forum.
I guess I need to give the same username permission to access both databases.
I don't have time to try that at the moment as I have to get to work but I will try that as soon as I get home.
Thanx for your help

Yes Mork,
That is the problem, the user must be able to see both databases!

OK I couldn't figure out how to add the same user to 2 different databases. It told me that user already exist.
So I made a duplicate of my database and just installed SMF to it and run the converter!
It worked excellently and was one of the faster and more complete converter I have yet to use. It even converted my hidden forums with the correct permissions 8)
I think I am going to like these forums ;D

That's what happens when developers like me and Grudge work on the converter ;). Sorry it's not more complete, though.
Thanks... we hope you like SMF.
