Anyone has a link to a mybb 1.2.6 download url ? I have the same problem with the users tables here.

Or is there someone who can come up with a hint how to modify the converter so that it works with the newest mybb?
Here you have a link to mybb 1.2.5 if you want... I've upped it recently.

The archive contains:
- a zip called "lang_french.zip" witch contains the french language files for MyBB. (I think you doesn't need it)
- a zip archive containing the english version of MyBB 1.2.5

If you wish the 1.2.6, here are the changed files from 1.2.5 to 1.2.6:

I hope it works...
For the people having problems with users not being imported. I was able to get the users imported on 1.2.9 by removing the following line from the 001_users.php file

$cache->updatestats();

Then I updated the stats manually from the admin control panel.
Hi,

And the hack from optic didn't help, what can i do?

Thanks optic, that did the trick. Smile
Glad I upgraded to MyBB. Burning Board Lite was getting old. I first converted to phpBB, because there was no converting for Burning Board Lite.

This works as a workaround to getting 1.2.6, BUT:

for some reason, some of the line breaks in the posts don't get converted into actual spaces, just their html equivalent: <br />. For a forum with lots of long posts (such as fanfics), this is a problem. Turning on HTML posting in all forums doesn't get all of them out, either. I know, it's weird.

I distinctly remember not having this problem when I used the actual 1.2.6 release. So I'm calling once again for anybody out there who still has the original 1.2.6 zip file stashed somewhere, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share it with us.

Thanks!

BIG EDIT:

I got everything to look fine now using a simple MySQL statement (it'd be better if you did all of this offline, so that if you mess up, nothing much will be affected).

UPDATE mybb_posts SET message = replace( message, '<br />', ' 
' ) ;

Yep, that's a carriage return right after the third apostrophe. This should get all the stragglers.
