Okay, already very good. I have only one problem with display name history. In the past I have lost this data regularly. So before you rebuild the whole indexes, you should install the mods. Could one (I know, does this work) do not incorporate this mod at the same time? Or is that not desired? Because of me this does not have to be, I know what I have to take care of (only then did not know it). But the other users?

When translating, I have to work partly with ANSI. (Go no different) I hope this does not make any problems.

The problem with NOT installing Mods before doing anything else is that the changes and additions the Mods made (like adding items to vars files) won't be there and that data will be removed. YaBB keeps lists of items that should be in places like  board info and vars files. If an item isn't on the list, it gets removed.

Now, for such Mods like display name history, if that Mod isn't installed before importing, it has to be installed before any vars file is opened/saved.

I am thinking of adding more functions to the BoardConvert utility - like the possible data loss warning list when moving to Windows and a Mod list checker. This would mean that the BoardConvert utility would have to be run on the old forum before an import/conversion.

On a related note - I'm checking into how, in your attachments log, there came to be the same attachment in multiple places. (This isn't a case-insensitivity issue. Attachments.pm will now be checking file names against a list - which is case-sensitive - of what's in yabb2/Attachments rather than just trusting 'is it in the folder?' as Windows gives a false positive on that.)

The problem of Windows is a long known issue. But it's one YaBB could have addressed a long time ago as it had/has the potential of doing serious damage to a forum, especially for inexperienced forum owners trying to restore backups using FTP from a Windows machine.

The highlighted section refers to the folder name converted to lowercase for all the files. (But I suspect that was what you were actually confirmation of.)

But I'm actually not sure it's really necessary as with the new system, only the admins should ever see that actual folder name. Changing the 'screen' name in the Mod for %lngs might be good enough.

<add before>
 $lngs{'German'} = 'Deutsch Formal';
 </add before>  

There's also the minor issue of converted forums where they were using Language packs with the older folder names and so a lot of members will be discovering they have to change their language choice after an upgrade. (Like yours.  : )

There are updates in the 2.7 SVN - Attachments.pm has gotten rebuilt and now stores actual lists of the files in the Attachments Folder and PMAttachments folder to check against. The Manage Attachments screen also now tells you how large the largest real file is and how old the oldest real file is.

Convert2x also saves a file into Variables (datacheck.txt) that lists all the potential 'trouble' files - Members without emails, possible duplicated Boards and attachments.

I'm going to spend a little bit of time today trying to figure out why the current Russian Pack does weird things to the AdminCenter.

Tomorrow I'll start pulling out the language sections of Convert2x and ConvertLang into their own lang files.

Oh, yeah - forgot about all those German language addons in Mods that will have to be rewritten...  :

okay.

The conversion has worked so far, all the data in cgi-bin are there.
We are an important step forward.
