We're going to be moving to a faster and less buggy bulletin board software soon, phpBB2, so I'm just giving you guys and gals an update on how the conversion to phpBB2 is going.
I'm working on a converter for the attachments, and I will find some way to get the polls converted as well.
Since I'm testing the conversion on my own system which is on Win2k, I have no idea if I'll be able to convert avatars yet, because you can't change file or directory permissions in Win2k like you can in Linux, so avatards and smilies wouldn't copy over (the smilie list in the database copied fine, just the files didn't)
So, once I finish the attachment and poll converter, and I feel I can sufficiently cover all the bases such as getting most of the user and post data over to phpBB2 without leaving out too much stuff, I'll close this board so I can do the real thing.
If there's any of you that know how to code PHP and MySQL, your help would be greatly appreciated.
