Importing Members into Paid Member Group

[jpapadpapa]

I think I will just import everyone over as regular members, change the subscription to .01 and have them all sign up again to be paid members. Then I can go in and edit all the dates to reflect when they actually paid the real amount. I'm thinking that would probably be the easiest solution.

As far as I know this is going to require a custom import script to do this correctly. Try asking for help over at www.vbulletin.org.

I am setting up a forum for a group where I will need to import paid members. I noticed that after we imported onto the test site and I put them in the paid member usergroup, they are not included in the "Subscribed Members" total...I guess because they didn't pay on the new site? Is there a way to fix this or does it really matter?

Also, our memberships last one year. When it comes up to a year after their join date, I assume they will have to pay again and renew, correct? Or, since they are not listed in the Subscribed Members section, does it not see them the same way?
