Ugh, put a comma instead of a period when executing the query
Expect a new version soon (one that imports polls and (hopefully) announcements, whee! ).No members have liked this post.

I think you messed something up. (Or, I'm not feeling well, read note#1)
In vBulletin's config file, it should point to your vBulletin database. From what it looks like, the vBulletin DBwrapper is giving you an error, and you're trying to access a database labeled 'ama_phpbb2'. That's the only thing I can think of. Make sure in your vBulletin config file, that you enter the correct settings for your vBulletin database, not your phpBB database. You enter your phpBB details when you run the importer. NOTE: I'm not feeling well (I have some form of heat stroke), it's really hot here in Michigan! NOTE #2: A new version is on the way. Everything is perfect, and ready to be released, except the BBcode routines. I'm having lots of fun with converting size tags. phpBB measures font size in pixels, and vBulletin measures in points, or something other then pixles. Maybe a new version will be out tonight or tomorrow. No members have liked this post.

I can assure you the problem isnt with me, ive dont this about 15 times or so. The MySQL error im getting is whats throwing me off. Its looking for
mysql error: Table 'ama_phpbb2.style' doesn't exist now im not sure, if thats in the vb db or the phpbb db? does that makes sense? I think ill try to create a ama_phpbb.style in the vb forums, otherwise ill just wait until your final release....anyways hope you feel better, and thanks for the quick reply! I used to have access to my db, thru phpmyadmin, but i lost the URL my host gave me. Im waiting on a email back from them. I created the style ama_phpbb2 and it didnt work I know it was a crazy idea lol I then selected to quit at the top right hand corner and i get these errors...
Since my host is getting ready to move servers its all just playing ground for me right now anway...so any help today would be cool if not ill just wait PS Database info is usr: allmadden pwd:******* db name: ama_phpbb2 prefix  hpbb_I have to change them to lower case for both the db and bb from what the control panel gives me, because its not right. if that makes sense No members have liked this post.

All I can think of is that you entered your phpBB details inside the vBulletin database. That's the ONLY way you could be getting errors about a phpBB database through the vBulletin wrapper. If you want to give me FTP access, I can check it out. Email me the details if you want, don't post them here, for obvious reasons.

I'm trying to convert my phpBB2 forums over to vB.
I don't care about styles. I don't care about smileys. All I want is my user information and threads transferred over. I cannot get that far though, because the converter keeps erroring out on trying to transfer over the styles, and then the smileys. I have set the converter script to: Do Not import subsilver Do Not import smileys # of styles to Import: 0 It's still giving me errors. Any suggestions? *Edit: I'm at step 3. Options: Should I skip users who's username is already in the database? (Not Complete) Yes Would you like me to import avatars? No What style should the users have by defualt? (There is no option to chose at this point, is this the problem?) Then I get two error windows below, and cannot proceed:

After going through it about 5 more times, that same error keeps appearing. At every step. Even though the import script will continue past the first two steps, at the bottom of each page is a window with pretty much that exact error. No members have liked this post.

ugh, sorry for not replying for a while.
Due to current complications in my already busy live with my brain running at 1000% normal capacity, I don't think I'm going to have time for this for a little bit. I'm going to work on it this weekend, someone email me so I don't forget, LOL James5Smith: I don't know what's wrong, I'll look into it this weekend. Timmmmmy: My brain's running fast enough already, I'm planning on working on your DB this weekend. No members have liked this post.
