The thing I don't like about Opera (apart from the fact that it is Norwegian! :D) is that it looks like the GUI was designed by a twelwe year old when you first start it up. All the buttons have really corny transition effects and the interface is generally bloated with very little space left for the actual content. I know you can turn all that crap off, but the fact that it starts out with it enabled is definately a bad thing.
I totally agree. I'm also a Opera-user, just love the mousemoves! The first thing to do is, as you said, to remove all big buttons and searchfields :) I like the new "bookmark-box" in 7.5 though :)
The same thing goes for Miranda where you can remove all menus (like this), make it much simpler :) I don't understand people who still runs Mirabilis ICQ with tons of feautures that no one uses, ads, and such things.

Cheers guys, you are legends :)
Did my DB help with the development of the converter much?
Yes it did. It's always easier to have a large database to test with, it sooo much different stuff that users can do. I've found alot of small things such as <br>'s in the signature, guests posting topics (different guest id in invpb and punbb), zero-value at the posts/topics-settings in the profile and so on...

Re: Displaying Userlist (2 replies, posted in Feature requests)
The alphabetical userlist is removed beqause it's not working when having "weird" usernames (with another encoding or something like that). In v1.2 you can search in the userlist instead, so it should hopefully be enough.

I've got a better file yes. Do you want to have the private messages converted too, you'll have to wait some more. Otherwice I could make a database-dump for you. I've sent you an email.

Yes, I've tested it with your DB, but I need a "large" 2.0-database also. Second, I'm thinking about converting the private messages too, but I'll look at it later today.

Re: A little assistance required (32 replies, posted in General discussion)
I've made some changes to the converter now. When filling in the forum-settings the user can choose between 1.3 and 2.0. There's only some small differences between the versions, so there's no problem having it in one converter.
Found out that converting to InvPB 2.0 before converting it to PunBB is not a good idea beqause the passwords can't be converted from InvPB2.0.
I'll upload the converter to a server tomorrot if someone is willing to test it for me.

Re: A little assistance required (32 replies, posted in General discussion)
Always nice to help :)
The problem is that the converter is made for Invision Power Board 2.x, so there's some changes between the versions. I've converter polls, posts and all that anyway, and it should be no problem to write a script that changes the way quotes are handled.
I'm going to se Metallica (WEEEEE!) today, so I'll probably look at it tomorrow sometime.

Re: A little assistance required (32 replies, posted in General discussion)
Joey:
Which version of InvPB did you run? There's differences between them, so the quote's in the posts ends up like this is PunBB. A solution to the problem is to upgrade the database with their script before running the converter.

Done! Some work left to do, but it's mainly removing of bb-code, <br>'s and such things. Some comments:

It took about 10 minutes before I realised I had to put the converter in a subfolder in a punbb installation, then it took another 4 for me to use the mysql command line to insert the dump in a new database and give the punbb database access to the ibp database. Ugh I hate security sometimes.
Yeah, I should have written some instructions in the readmy. I'm about to do this untill next release.

$res = $db->query('SELECT m.* FROM ...
This don't solve the problem completely. This way one user is lost in the conversion (the one with id=1). This is done beqause in PunBB the guest-account have id-number 1, and therefore no "real" user can have this ID.

Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 (Errno: 1064)After staring puzzled at the code for a bit, I realised it was because there was nothing inside the ibf_badwords table for the script to convert. Better add a check or something to that.
Oh and it's not "cencored" or "cencoring" but "censored" and "censoring" ;)
Next on to ?page=7 (manually typed, because of the above error)

Database reported: Table 'invpb.ibf_banfilters' doesn't exist (Errno: 1146)No problem, I'll assume he just didn't ban anyone. Needs another check or something to avoid the error message though.
Next on to ?page=8 (manually typed again because of the error)
All of this is caused of empty tables. I've fixed this by setting a variable to -1 instead of "nothing".

True. You also see that there are no forums in either version. I think this is caused by different handling in different versions of InvPB. I've made the converter for the newest version, and they've changed alot between them. The problem with the users (m.*-solution) is also a consequence of the version-problems.
I've fixed most of this now, and I'll put a sql-file here shortly. I have to test the converter on new newest version of InvPB before I release another version of it though. Thanks Louis for the help!

Out of almost pure luck than anything, I did an MySQL backup just yesterday. I have read the thread concerning how to change IPB -> PunBB, and downloaded Chacmool's converter, but I'm not too good with this kind of thing.
Would anyone be prepared to help me with this conversion, so that I end up with a MySQL dump of my forums in PunBB?
Sure, I can help you :)
Do you only have the MySQL-dump then? Can't you install a webserver at home and run the converter there instead? I think it would be much easier than converting the dump.

Re: BBCard support discussion (28 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Having avatars and such things in the "card" takes away the whole "edit-it-by-hand"-part though. By edit I mean that you would like to have forum-specific settings in there somehow (or is it something we can survive without?).
If you want different avatars on different forums, we have a problem. Feels like a good idea to have the avatar there though, makes it much easier :)
Edit: Louis' post answered some questions there...

Topic: BBCard support discussion (28 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
The BBCard support that are mentioned in the What's to come topic sounds interesting. I've done some thinking :) I've looked at the vCard, and it feels like (as Rickard has mentioned) that it does not have all the functionallity that a forum needs. XML feels like a better solution.
Like this you could have settings for general forums, and then other settings for specific forums. The "code" inside the <punbb>-tags then overrule the general ones.
