Tonight I am attempting to convert my community site from PHP-Nuke to Invision Power Board. I tried to just use the PHPbb converter for IPB, but that didn’t work too well. I am presently converting from PHP-Nuke to PHPbb (ironically, I did the reverse quite some time ago), and from there I will try the IPB conversion. Unfortunately, PHP-Nuke uses standard dates while PHPbb uses Unix-style dates, so I am manually converting everything (with some help). Fortunately I only have about 160 users, and I’m almost done.

Also, we’ve had CBS on for a little while, because neither of us is really watching and we can’t be bothered to change it. The show Threshold is on right now, and Brent Spiner is a regular on it! I had no idea. Whee! Yes, I am a huge geek.

Added: That took me a couple of hours and I have very little to show for it. I managed to convert from PHP-Nuke to PHPbb successfully, that was fine. But then I had the same problem with the conversion to IPB, which leads me to think that I didn’t need to do the Nuke-PHPbb conversion after all. I ended up dumping the PHPbb installation altogether; I stashed the tables in my Nuke database so I haven’t lost all that work at least. I dumped the IPB installation too. Maybe I will try again later, maybe not.
