It sounds like you have just used the normal zip file in downloads. There was actually a converter zip on the first post here, but with help of a phpBB bug on attachments it has now disappeared from the topic.

I will try to get hold of the zip files again as not too sure if I still have them on the HD.
any luck in finding this file? would kind of need it or would it work the other way round importing old data onto the new sql database? :beg:

Hey guys

Assuming this file isn't available, any ideas what I can do because I can't just re-start the forum because we currently have over 4500 posts and 64 members
I would really like to use this and I don't have the technical skill to add the mods myself :beg:

This happened to me before, did you remove the arcade's install directory first?

Try installing the other ones first, then remove them after installing.
