Hi Liam,

Well, I've managed to get my vbulletin forum to import successfully! Yehaw!!

I notice alot of bb code in the posts. eg "this sentence has [b]some bold text in it[/b]."

I would like to convert all that bb code into html.

Can you (or anyone) recommend the best method to do this?

Thanks,
Michael

Are you wanting to permanently convert the BBCode to HTML, then allow users to enter HTML into their posts; or do you want to keep using BBCode?

We did a permanent conversion to HTML on Webmaster Forums recently, it was a lot easier than I expected (as long as you know some PHP).

You'll need the BBCode module whichever you choose to do. To permanently convert all posts, write a PHP script that goes through each post, runs it through _bbcode_filter_process() and saves the result. That's all I can remember.
