importing users from prehistoric phorum
Hi,

I have a new install from Gforum, and I try to import messages from Phorum 3
The import procedure is so complicated !
Phorum 3 -> phorum 3.4.8 -> PHORUM 5 ->importer script vbulletin I think and then...

Anyway, the first step already messed up all french special characters, so forget it.

I thought if I could import users with a few simple fields so I could rewrite a dozen messages with their login
so the forum is not empty when they first arrive, it would be cool !

They could even have their new password sent again !

Is it possible or is there another way ?

Thankx,
Mitia
