I have been checking for the past 2-3 weeks and it is still telling me its unavailable any eta on when this option will become available?

And is there anyway to take all forum's current Ranks/groups/forums/replies/topics from invision to zetaboards without using the conversion thingy?


thanks

I've contacted our service developer and am awaiting a response - I will let you know an ETA on when it will be back online as soon as I find out. :)

As for your second question, the built-in conversion process is the only way to transfer your forum's content to ZetaBoards. :)

Is there a way to export IF data and then import IF data to a new Zetaboard instead of waiting for automatic conversion to Zetaboards to be updated?

Each day more members are joining and posting threads and I'm getting near the point of just setting up a new board on Zeta and spending hours/days manually moving data to a new Zetaboard.

No.

Conversion is the only way to transfer IF to ZB.

No news is not good news. Would someone please ask the developer again when the conversion process from IF to ZB will be functioning?

Two months and no information, even if forums are free, isn't businesslike.

Twilight is upon me, and soon night must fall.

In December, following several malicious attacks on our servers, we transferred our servers to new machines better able to handle those types of attacks. However, due to the move, several things broke. Essentially, in computers you have a lot of addresses. These features are pointing to addresses no longer used because we've moved. But because this isn't the same address for everything, it takes time to resolve these issues. Conversions were not the only affected feature. We've had issues with our Resource Database, New Board Registrations, our abuse report system and more. We are fixing these items bit by bit but the more sensitive and critical features like conversions need to be handled carefully. This unfortunately means a longer wait.

That's a very, veeeeeeeeeeeeery sad news to hear considering that a lot of people have been waiting for a few months now (I myself included). I was also hoping that the conversion will be available soon, maybe next month or so. But after seeing this post I seem to have lost some hope for this.

My board already reached the point where starting over would be a serious blow to us considering that we've already got a steady amount of members and posts, because our hobby is not that popular in our country.

I'm willing to pay for whatever amount if it means I can convert to zetaboards as soon as possible. :'(

It’s not a matter of payment. ;) I assure you that the ability to convert one’s board to ZetaBoards is a very important part of our service, and we are working to get it running as soon as possible. Once it’s back, it will be back from everyone.

We’re aware that this is an inconvenience to those of you who have been thinking about or planning such a move for a while now. Although we are working diligently to restore conversions, we also want to ensure the integrity of your board. If we rushed this process just so that we could say that we’ve fixed conversions, we are doing a disservice to you and your community.

Then, can someone please provide a rough estimated time for its fix? A month? 2 months? Half a year?
It's easier to accept a blurry end date than nothing at all...

One of our network administrators confirmed earlier today that the IF to ZB conversion is amongst our top priorities at the moment and will be operational again ASAP. As for a time frame however, he could not confirm when the service would be online again.

Rest assured that it will be sometime soon. :) As soon as we have an ETA, we will let you know.

Thank-you for your continued patience, and we apologise for the inconvenience that this may be causing for you & your community.
