Moving from jcink to smf

[loveley]

Hi there! I'm looking forward to move from jcink to smf.

Has anyone had a successful move and can give me some tips on the process?

While googling, I could not find any converters for jcink db to any popular self-hosted forum software. What could I do? Any help, ideas?

jcink?

That's a hosting company, isn't it?

I notice they use Invision on their forum.

So, converting from jclink to SMF seems a bit illogical, to me, Loveley.

Have you got your facts right, there?

If you want to convert an Invision board to SMF, we have converters.

No, it's not only hosting company. Quoting "Jcink Forum Hosting is a free forum hosting service that runs a modified version of Invision Power Board (IPB)." If you are familiar with invisionfree, then basically jcink is invisionfree with superpowers.

I doubt that invision converters will work, as Jcink is a heavily modded IPB 1.3 forum. I'll still try them, thank you for the reply and link.

I have a distinct feeling, then, that you're out of luck with finding a converter.

Unless, of course, someone knows something that I don't (Which is entirely likely).
