XF 1.3 Import from vB4: visitormessage / profilepost

[sinucello]

Hi,
after importing my vB4 forum, I noticed that images in profile messages have disappeared. I looked up the messages in both the vB and xF databases and found this example:
vB (table visitormessage, field pagetext):

Deine Pinnwand ist ja sooooo leer ;)

xF (table xf_profile_post, field message):

Deine Pinnwand ist ja sooooo leer ;)

Can anyone explain what and why this happened and how I can import the profile messages without loosing the images?

thank you - all the best,
Sacha

I haven't checked the importer code but profile posts only support URLs, and no other bb code, so it's likely those have been stripped.

thanks, just found an add-on that allows bbcode in profile posts:

It also features the necessary changes to the importer so that the bbcode won`t get stripped. Great, one point less on my to-do list ;-)
