   Would anyone be able to assist with testing a conversion script from IP.Board 2.3.4 to bbPress 0.9? I've started writing some code myself to handle the switch. It would be great if any other coders would be willing to assist with this too.

   The way it will work currently is to generate a 'ipb2bb.sql' file that you can pass to mysql to upgrade the database. It will import users, categories, topics and posts. You can ask it to limit it's import to select categories only instead of all categories.

   I am still in the finishing stages of finishing mine up and always do need testing databases to make sure it works fine.

   Do contact me if you would like to help me test it as I would like to test the converter on just more then my original IP.Board and default installations.

   For one, that's a paid script.

   Which would be fine, except their "About Us" page has an HTML problem. Hope their actual script is better than their crap website.

   My question: will this also migrate files that have been uploaded?
