ouf...... my experience with those converters is that if the creator of the convertor does not help you, you really won't find much help elsewhere.
Try ...... good luck

Hi, I realise the converter from vB4 to smf is not around yet, but I've managed to convert with just one problem...the attachments have converted, but they are not showing up in the posts. What can I do about this?

Thanks

Converter has bug about converting 'attachments'  :/ devs are still working on it but yet you discovered Norv now Lead Developer (SMF) he has no/limited time for converters ...

Thank you for all understanding

Ok, well thanks for the replies. I only have a couple of hundred or so attachments, to I suppose I'll be adding them all manually

There is already a vB4 Conveter available here: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=404729.0

my admincp doesn't include config.php which the converter cannot get the settings

Unable to find the settings for vBulletin 3. Please double check the path and try again.

I thought that I read somewhere that you had to run SMF 1.1 to use the converters, but I can't find that again and don't see any reference to it here.  Can I install the latest (SMF 2.0)and still use the converter?

Hi!

I wonder if this thread is still watched, but anyway - I'm trying to convert vb 3.7.2 to smf 2.0.15 and whenever I click Proceed I just get a blank page. If I mess up the parameters on purpose I get the page with warnings what exactly went wrong. But if I use correct values - blank page.

I tried with various SMF versions - 2.0.15, 2.0.4 and 1.1.21, the result is the same.

I tried setting PHP for versions 5.6 and 7.1 for the SMF installation - no difference.

Anything I can do to fix this?

Hi i tried to convert my VB 3.8.1 database and getting this error

Warning: mysqli_error(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone. in /home/srimeein/public_html/convert.php on line 469

I recommend trying SMF 2.0.12 with the convertor and see if that helps then later upgrade SMF once you have it conveted

[sundar_83]

Attachments make sure your server has a high limit for packet size in mysql

Member logins the first time they use the password they have to reconfirm after that they can look as normal.
