Of equal importance - will all the old threads be lost? Things like Ted Z. providing T206 info, etc. have been a tremendous resource.

I don't have answers to these things. All of the information won't be lost. I can't guarantee about the images but hopefully, according to this below, they can be saved.

Here is what i was told this morning

"I don’t know if upgrading will fix your attachment/image issue or not.

I did dig around a bit, and the data does seem to be in the database and usable which is good. For example, I went to this page:
17 Different Stars from the 1979 Topps baseball Set - Net54baseball.com Forums

And tried to grab the first attachment. I get an empty jpg back.

I grabbed a temp piece of PHP code and used it to grab the same attachment directly from the database, and it seems to work fine:
tjwtemp.php (841�1115)

So the issue is somewhere in the vBulletin code, but as we aren’t developers trying to track that down is a bit beyond our scope. Adam did try copying over a copy of your sites code from a few weeks back that we had and it hasn’t made a difference.

Upgrading to a newer version of vBulletin may fix the attachment issue, but it’s also likely to break a ton of other stuff along the way. As I understand it, your custom look and most of the plugins would be completely unusable in a modern version of vBulletin 6 and would need to be redone.

As for Xenforo, there will be work to make the server compatible with it (PHP/Mysql versions and the like) and taking a quick look it looks like Xenforo has some kind of vBulletin import process which we can help kick off.

If the import goes badly though, we wouldn’t be able to really help with it though."

That was the last bit of reality message I got.

The data will be saved but the pics, I don't know. Maybe they can write a script or something to fix them..

We might try doing the version upgrade first to see if the files can be fixed that way. It is a discussion presently going on.
