Hello, we thought we were done testing and ready for a full-on conversion from phpBB, but there are still a few things for us to work out. One is after the conversion - it seems all attachments converted show up duplicated - meaning there are two links underneath the post - each one is linked to the SMF forums, but do have different ID's on the end. Should I not convert attachments when converting from phpBB to SMF? Thanks for any and all help.
Also - is there any "easy" way to convert custom ranks over? It's going to be a project and a half to reassign custom ranks to each user. Thanks again! :)

This probably means the attachments got converted twice for whatever reason. I would clear everything and try again.

Doesn't the converter do post groups and all groups the member is in?
-[Unknown]
All of the member groups made it over in the converter - however, only one of the custom ranks with associated icon transferred. None of the rest did. Could it be some kind of "confusion" since multiple members belong to several groups - as well as having a rank assigned? There was also a global moderator who was "dropped" from a group. I'm not a php coder by any means - but the converter was tested with phpBB 2.0.7 and we converted from 2.0.15 - could that be some or all of the problem? I didn't encounter any errors in the conversion.
The attachment duplicates are not a big concern at all. Thanks again for your help.
