converson: makes the board backup useful for IPB system. transfer: optional, we use the converted data to set up your new board. |

so conversions are for when you have over 1000 posts and have to start paying for backups? and transfers are if you move to a different server? |

A conversion is when you want to leave Invisionfree and have that data usefull for an IPB board. |

I'm waiting for a response on too. My forum members have nagged the hell out of me about the forum errors. I'm tired of answering their queries on it so moving to IPB seems the only solution. |

Devoted, unless you got a really strong and powerful SQL database, running your own IPB board will be futile as IPB boards are very "power hungry" as I had an SQL database with 800MB or something like that and it said that it was consuming alot of the resources so I kept on having SQL errors for about 2 hours. |

Conversion: This is needed, no matter what you MUST purchase this. You see, invisionfree and IPB are different, even though invisionfree runs on IPB's software the data is different. what conversion does is takes the data from your board and makes it compatible with IPB's software. transfer: this is optional, after the data is converted you can do whatever you want with it. So it's like this, we use the converted data and transfer it to your hosted IPB board. |
