For the most part the conversion when ok. One of the strange things I noticed is member names.
IE member name starts with !!!!!member name on IPB after converstion the name is now !';!member name
I assume this means the same as the member name !!!! but why did it switch?
This is very strange. I'm not sure why Invision choose to make ! into its entity. But, I've updated the converter to hopefully fix this. Please try the attached.

I ran the conversion and it converted the displayed name but not the user name. So in the admin ctrl Username would be #33;#33;#33;Screen name and in the displayed name its !!!Screenname.
So not entirely fixed. As I assume to log in you need to type in your Username.

Well, you can also use your email address.
Try replacing this:
$row['memberName'] = preg_replace('/[<>&"\'=\\\]/is', '', $row['memberName']);
With:
$row['memberName'] = preg_replace('/[<>&"\'=\\\]/is', '', strtr($row['memberName'], array('!' => '!')));
Any other characters they do this to?

Works like a charm! Thanks for the help. :)
I wanted to add the same thing happened with me, but only on 1 username (So far only one has reported it)
