To be honest it should be doable to convert the old bb code to the new bb code. I'm down with helping to write some ugly sql queries.
Re: Forum Update/Upgrade - FlyingMongoose - 07-06-2015
Other than what has already been reported I made a thread in there and did some in-depth-bb-code-posting and it all seems to work quite well.
Honestly I don't really think there's anything that CAN be broken (I've tried some failed SQL injection on registration pages too).
MyBB seems clean to me.

So I think we won't get much more non production testing anyway. I think it's better to roll it out sooner rather than later.

Busy week, give it time
Re: - FlyingMongoose - 07-10-2015
I understand just pointing out there's really little to no more testing necessary

in the little bit of fiddling around i've done i haven't seen anything broken.

I've been writing a plugin that makes the needed changes to mycode so that it can parse the old smf style bb code.
- So the nested quotes from old posts did not work at all.
- Images with sizes wouldn't parse.
- URLs wouldn't work in some cases, depending on how they were entered.
- Almost all the old Youtube/other videos wouldn't embed.
- Spoiler tags didn't work.
That's what I have found and fixed so far.
What I won't be able to fix are the missing avatars and old links to the old forum. The URLs used in either are non-compatible.

Wouldn't it be easier to write a conversion script that converts old bbcode to new bbcode?

Probably but it sounds like he's getting pretty far anyway.

Which is what I am doing, however I have to find all the instances where it differs. The SMF 'bb'code documentation isn't accurate as to how it's implemented.

Seems like yet another good reason in an ever increasing list of reasons as to why it's a good idea to move away from SMF.

I kind of figured; but at least there's a positive response so far.

By the way; for theme-ing mybb; I recommend just branching the main theme and editing that; in case things go funky on an upgrade in the future you can always revert to original this way.
RE: Forum Update/Upgrade - HeK - 09-07-2015
As you can see, we have cut over to the new board.
Please post any problems here.
Yes, I realize that your avatars have been removed. That is a *feature* of the migration process. Think of it as new beginnings.
