UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Suggestions and Feedback converting UBB to WWWThreads

Hey Matt

I might have a guinea pig for your UBB import script.

By the way, is there a copy in the Resource Center?

(Given the popularity of UBB, such a script if supported by WWWThreads could be a big selling point for the program).

Hi MattyJ,

You don't know me, I'm new here. But, I've followed your work back a long ways. I have a site on CIHost. Other than needing your comments about CIHost (I'm noticing a latency on the posts already and we're only testing!) I'd like to ask about this script you were working on.

I have a webmaster who may be moving his site onto the "network" of sites we're building. His is a fairly popular UBB and he plans to just dump it and start over. He has close to 1000 members, so if we could port it over to W3T, I'm sure he'd be very pleased.

Would you have time to talk with me about it?

http://home.flash.net/~tchss/ - this is the UBB site

I could use the help. This is all way over my head. Thanks for anything you can do for us....Bobby.

I'm just finished up on a modified UBB import script. Using it to import UBB data for the Perl Archive's website. Once I get everything finished up I'll post a note and put it in the resource center as well.

You're a man of many talents. Unassumingly beavering away in the background working on new ides before they are even suggested.
I'd love to see what you come up with, and a great reason for those running UBB to jump ship.

Oh man, this is excellent! I'd appreciate it if you'd keep me in mind when you post that info and drop me an email. I'll get it over to my fellow webmaster ASAP. He's down right now and it looks like he's going to trash what he has on the UBB....or rebuild another UBB. Unless I can give him a real strong case to move to W3T. This will be very helpful...maybe a case study? or example site?

I just posted this on the Information board. You can visit the Perl Archive's website, link found in the post, and go to their forums. They were running UBB up until a couple of days ago.
