Hi there folks!

This has been frustrating, my forum used to be an stand alone version 1.0.2

As suggested in another tread, I updated first to 1.2, that process went smoothly, so I thought I was close to victory, but so far it still eludes me!

Each time i try to import the old forums using the 2.2.4 forum import function with my DB Name, DB User, DB Pass, DB prefix (default bb_) , it runs the process smoothly saying there is no users to import, no forums to import and so on.

Is there a step I may be missing?

Ok I managed to move a step forward, it seems on Media Temple you need to select their DB host. Anyway, now I get this one:

WordPress database error: [Table ‘db9999_DBNAME.bb_members’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT convert(members.member_id USING “utf8”) AS member_id,convert(members.members_pass_hash USING “utf8”) AS members_pass_hash,convert(members.members_pass_salt USING “utf8”) AS members_pass_salt,convert(members.name USING “utf8”) AS name,convert(members.email USING “utf8”) AS email,convert(members.joined USING “utf8”) AS joined FROM bb_members AS members LIMIT 0, 100

any clues?

Solved! And finally the import is just as awesome as promised. 🙂
