Title: Strangeness after converting from IPB 1.3.1f to RC2
Post by: vogelap on December 15, 2004, 08:57:48 AM
It appears that permissions do not function properly after conversion from Invision 1.3.1final. Boards that should show up do not.

This issue is FIXED by going into Admin->Manage Boards->(boardname)->Modify and just clicking the "Modify" button at the bottom.

No other changes are necessary, however, this step should not be required.

Strange.  Would you be willing to send me a database dump of the prefix_boards table before making this workaround?

Unfortunately, I've already done the workaround and currently have no plans to re-import the database.

Hopefully this hasn't been discussed before but I've searched this forum for a similar problem to mine but could not find it.

Anyway the problem I encountered is when I ran a conversion from IPB 1.3 Final to SMF Final. Prior to the conversion I decided to create new membergroups to mirror the ones I had set up in IPB to save me time in advance of the switchover to SMF.

I had edited the default SMF membergroups except 'Newbie' to reflect the changes I needed and added a few more new membergroups too.

But once I ran the conversion from IPB I noticed that all the membergroups except for 'Newbie' had dissappeared. 

Very strange  :o
