Snitz forums convert to vbulletin

[wilburshere]

• Okay i have a snitz forum atm and i want to transfer to vbulletin
• firstly i do not have vb yet but have seen some of the sites here in australia that have changed over
• second my snitz forum is on a ms sql db does vb run on ms sql or can it be imported to a vb script on mysql?
• i can just do a fresh install but this would mean losing all the posts and members from my snitz forum site
• is there a manual way of at least importing the members list
  

thanks for any help

Theres a few converters for moving to vB. I moved my forum from phpBB to vB without any problems. What software do you currently run?

Thank you for your interest in the vBulletin software.

We do have a Snitz import script, please see this post on what can currently be imported.

We have done last year the migration from Snitz (on a Windows server with MS SQL) to a linux machine with Vbulletin and MySQL as DB.

Some trubbels, but we migrate all or postings > 450.000 at time of migration. Then it was the first version of the import script of Jerry. Nice work of Jerry.

Regards,
Peter

Passwords from Access to MySql

I was told that if you have a Snitz board using MS-Access and convert it over to MySQL your user passwords will not work due to the different MD5 schemes that MySql or Access employs. I know this was true for me when I converted mine.

Just have the users click on "Forgot my password" and it should email them a new one

This thread is nearly 3 months old, I think he would have realised that by now.

Re: 3 months old

I realize that but just in case somebody who is like me and is still reading them and wants to know the answer or has a similar problem.

So are the passwords still in the database? it's not a situation where all password data has been lost completely?
