Congrats for the forum upgrade
SMF is among the best forum softwares

Liviu Lalescu

Yes, but conversion was not very easy.

Chafik Graiguer

Yeah but it is worth the hard work
For BBcode an URLs you can use global Search and Replace via sql querie
Also, think about a htaccess file to redirect users and search engines to new urls.. so the board wont loose page rank

I am not familiar with these. About redirecting, this is not too important, because page rank of FET homepage is important, not the FET forum. And it would be very difficult to redirect each old link.

If you have any advice on what to do, specifically, let me know.

For the moment, me and Volker manually converted old links to new ones, in the English forum. Only Arabic ones remaining, we'll try to solve these as well in the near future.

You need to modify from [size=14] to [size=14pt], I think.

If manually changing is too hard, I might try a global replace, but it is risky, as I have no experience.

Edited to add: it seems that if you have something like:

[size=14][right]...text...[/right][/size]

you need to swap the "right" and "size" tags, like:

[right][size=14]...text...[/size][/right]

so that "right" is at the exterior.

I solved it. Please report if I forgot something.
