Private Messages - if I skip this?

[livtech]

Hi there, probably a stupid question. But if I skip the private messages module during the import, will it cause problems for the whole process or for the members' inboxes afterwards?

(I don't want to carry the PMs over because my first test import dumped them all in members' sent boxes and I reckon it's better to start with O than to have that mess. ;-))

I had the same mess. I imported two forums into a clean vB installation. I have no issues (as of the past 24 hours since the install) without importing the private messages.

I think you'll be just fine.

Ok, many thanks! Fingers crossed!

You can leave out any module you want as long as there aren't other modules that are dependant on it that you do want.

What system are you importing from ?

Hi!

PHPBB 3.0.RC1

Cheers. Of course, I have no way of knowing what is dependant on what exactly, until afterwards. Hehe. But I do understand what you mean.

ImpEx will tell you if you try and run a module that another is dependant on that hasn't been run.

I've only worked with Beta 5 I've yet to see a RC 1 database.

Ok. Are you saying the PM mess doesn't occur with Beta 5?

I don't recall having anyone ask me to fix anything that they saw was wrong with Beta 5.

Damn! Heh. I would have considered upgrading current forum first before the import then, if beta 5 wasn't the version before RC 1...

If I can have a copy of the database I can update it for RC 1, you'll need to start a ticket in the members area and ask for me.

Ooh. I just can't say no to that. I'll get onto it now. You've been awesome, thanks.
