The best course of action (what I would do) is to develop a simple reputation page in ACP where you could input UIDs and change their reputation to the number it was before (one at a time) . . .
A more elegant solution would be to examine the previous rep table (from the old forum software) and create a PHPI script to 'convert' the old reps to the new style reps and insert them into the database-- and I have no idea whether the other DB is storing reps in a way that would make that feasible.
Just trying to help.
I think I'm too much of a novice to make anything like that.

We were on IPB.
I'll get back to you at the end of the day with an answer or a solution. Pretty sure it's possible, i'll take a look.
Awesome! Thanks
It is certainly possible, for whoever will do it you need to read from the ipb rep cache, unserialize ,grab the values and insert them into mybb.
Don't know when I will have time to do this though.
You may want to open a job on elance.com... from being here a while.. there's only a few MyBB devs I would trust without an escrow account to secure my payment for development of a conversion tool or MyBB plugin. If there's no budget then disregard this reply as it then wouldn't really apply.
