phpBB 3.3 - merge not working properly

[wile]

Hello team, 

I would like to ask if there is any plan for an update in "merge". 
I see the latest version is 1.8.11. It was released on April 4, 2016


I tried to migrate phpBB 3.3 to MyBB but seems this is not yet supported and is blocking me, 

- migration of users - unknown columns aim and yahoo
- sql issue in migration of polls
- posts incorrectly migrated - broken tags


Any advise is appreciated.

Please use the latest dev build of the Merge System from GitHub: https://github.com/mybb/merge-system
Download it as a .zip file: https://github.com/mybb/merge-system/arc...eature.zip , unzip it, rename the folder to merge and upload the merge folder to the root of your forum.

By the way, the team will probably release a new version in near future.

... And some of phpBB BBcodes might not convert to MyBB. they need to be fixed using SQL queries [eg.]

Thank you.

I just tried provided new version of merge. 

Seems importing of users reported me some duplicate users but I was able to get through it the same way as before.. but it might be still some remaining bug. 

At the end when I im ported users I got into some endless loop with redirecting.

Perhaps some internal trackers were broken.

Will you try to set up a new MyBB installation and then run the merge system to import?

I actually did a new install and tried to do the merge.

Hmm, that's weird. Will you check if you've also dropped a table named mybb_trackers where mybb_ is the table prefix?

Thank you. 

I just tried again and it worked.
There was some issue with import of polls - please refer to screenshot. 

After the "merge", I noticed there is still issue with parsing of signatures in posts that are broken like text of posts was before.
