I have an imported forum with numerous users who registered using Steam Auth. Is there any way for this plugin to work with these existing users or would it create new accounts for these users if they tried logging in via this plugin?

Thanks but I'm sure you have more important issues to deal with. I'll wait for 2.0.1

Coming from vB I’m used to bugs being open for years these days. Somehow I suspect you do it differently.. If it’s going to be a couple of weeks or so then I can sit tight and wait for the patch rather than waste support time. If it’s likely to be longer than that then let me know and I’ll...

That worked! Unfortunately I now have a new error..

I renamed the title of the two profile fields which had similar names (in the vB Admin panel for anyone with future issues) and that fixed the truncating issue. Now I've got a new issue:

I deleted the whole database, reinstalled, applied the fix for match_regex and then re-ran the import to get that error. I'm now trying deleting all the files off FTP as well which seems like overkill but you never know. EDIT: Confirmed - still happens on a completely clean import using the fix...

Not to worry. Thanks for the clarification. Final question - does XF2 have a stable importer? At this stage might as well skin the latest and greatest than have to remake a skin post XF2 launch.

Ive been a vBulletin admin for probably 10 years but the time has come for a major site upgrade and I’m eying up the alternatives to vBulletin 5 I’ve been testing alternatives and had a bad experience with bbPress which very helpfully emailed every user an email every time their name was...
