Hello!

I have some questions, before i buy your product:

1. Did you offer an IPB converter?

2. Is it possible to show attachments "inline" (inside a posting)?

Thank you!

At the moment i cannot complete the import...

II have an error: "Unable to connect to the source database using supplied information " in XAMPP

(Want to do this first, local - not with my working board")

i checked all twice, tried "localhost" and "127.0.0.1" but it is not working...

Can you help?

Furthermore...are attachments imported, also?

We can't really advise but... of course under normal circumstances - as the source and target databases have to be on the same mySQL server - the host, user names and password are most usually the same as the ones you use for WordPress. Only the db Name would be different.

The Invision script was written by a user who successfully imported their own db. I do not know if t has ever been used by anyone else - Invision is not one of the more popular systems after all.

As it says in the help panel and the first page set of options - only users,  forums, topics and posts are imported. We can not import attachments. If you want to go that far then the conversion people that Ike mentioned above would be the best way forward.

we used to... but it required non trivial maintenance and was rarely used... we are still kicking around ideas for revisiting, but hate to spend lot of effort for little benefit...
