Going to go try this on a few db's and see what comes out the other end.

Yes, you'll get those prompts, but your only options are to merge all the users with duplicate emails into one account, or change the emails. You can't carry on with them as they are. This was confirmed by Mike yesterday in a thread.Mark, you sure about that?
During the import it prompts for 'what to do with duplicate names' and another 'what to do with duplicate emails'. The last time I tried it, those were the prompts.
Guys,
Just out of interest (just finished installing ), looking at importing my rather large Database and seeing if it can cope (Threads 317,654 Posts 1,673,663) and see how it handles it.
What does xF need for the import - is it just the mysql databse from the 'Donor' forum?
It needs DB server, DB name and DB username & password and the path for attachments and avatars if they aren't stored in the database.
Worked like a charm Paul! YOU ROCK! www.dodgeboard.com/community
The only (minor) problem I had was with polls.
"A server error occurred. Please try again later."
This is a copy of the vb3 importer, with the attachments code adapted for vb4 (only).
Any other importer bugs in the existing vb3 importer (or importer system in general) will still exist in this, all ive changed its whats necessary for the attachments.
Also...One other glitch...
