Hello! I’m new to the world of Simple:Press, and SO VERY GLAD you exist. PHPbb was nothing but a pain to work with. This plugin is so much easier!

I’ve got everything set up just right, but there’s a problem. It seems none of the attachments ported over.

Is there some way I can fix this? I’m stuck with things like this: 

Image Problem

(from http://amongthemythos.com/forum/non-spoiler-chat/new-wiki-entry-dragons/)

Is there an automated way I can fix this? I really hope so. There are far, FAR too many images to look at fixing all manually with anything but trepidation. Thanks in advance! :)

yes, unfortunately our importer does not import images from phpbb… every other forum app does it differently, so its beyond the scope of our plugin…

if you really need them, I would recommend http://gconverters.com/ as they have more by specific  forum importers…  we are not affiliated with them in any way, but users have reported success with them…
