Converting members... Unsuccessful!

[Zoolge]

Hi,

I really want to convert my IPB to SMF however I keep on getting this error when converting
they both are on the same server and same database

Converting members... Unsuccessful!
This query:

(then it says all the members info, which I wont post for security reasons )

Caused the error:

    Unknown column 'memberName' in 'field list'

could some one please help. As I really want to convert to SMF.
Thank You in advance

PS. Also I can no longer log into the smf forum i installed

is your SMF  Version 2.0 Beta4? our converters are for SMF 1.1.7 only. (2.0 converters are still in developement) You can install SMF 1.1.7, convert your IPB and then upgrade your SMF to 2.0 Beta4.

lol thank you i realized that straight after I posted the topic sorry 
however how long does the converter take? its been on the step for Converting posts for half a day now
Is it meant to take that long or should I start again?
Thanks for your help

the time is depending on your source forums size. small forums are converted in 1-4 minutes, large forums can take some hours.
