Crash and burn with this error:

Converting...
Converting members... Unsuccessful!
This query:

    ALTER TABLE `smf`.smf_members
    DROP PRIMARY KEY,
    CHANGE COLUMN ID_MEMBER ID_MEMBER mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL default 0;

Caused the error:

    Can't DROP 'PRIMARY'; check that column/key exists



Does anyone know how to work around it?

Thanks,

Have you tried converting to 1.0 and upgrade to 1.1?

Yes,

But will try again and post results here. Thanks for taking the time and offering a suggestion.

Ah,

One thing. Re-installed 1.0.7

But I do not see a converter for Yabb2 to 1.0.7, only Yabb2 to 1.1....



Advice?

I would think you need to post a request, since Yabb2 converter doesn't exist.

Can I ask if you're actually using up-to-date yabb?

It is the latest and greatest. Clean install...

Is is a board that I have been running for a few years, so it was upgraded a few times. From Yabb Gold to Yabb2.

I did a clean local install of version 2, the latest, then copied all the revelant files from my production install, which was Yabb2 RC1.....

Oi vey. I was really hoping to convert over to SMF, but I might be stuck with Yabb......

Well, I'm not sure a Yabb2 to 1.0.X will work either....

I'm trying to figure out the path others have taken on this.

Maybe I need to migrate to YabbSE or another forum software then try to come over to SMF...But that only seems like it might add complexity.

Hmmmmmm....

Kind of stuck here....
