Import Thread Prefixes

[guvner]

Unless I've missed something, it seems that thread prefixes are not handled by the IPB import script.

I have a few forums which have accumulated a few years of prefixes to help members ID content and it would be quite a loss.

I faced a similar problem going from VB to IPB a couple of years ago and spent weeks restoring the prefixes manually - can't so that again.

Would it be possible to modify the IPB import script (happy for it to be a paid job) to process thread prefixes by:

1. Recreating the prefix during the import process.
2. Attaching the appropriate prefix to threads.

Would appreciate any ideas on this,

Thanks,
Mike

Confirmed. I don't see anything about thread prefixes in the IPB importer. This requires modifying the importer. It shouldn't be too difficult. You can post a request:
