I mostly think that importing passwords from a legacy forum is a Bad Idea. There are almost certainly a bunch of horrible passwords and it seems like making people change their password when they get a shiny new forum is a fine idea, but it seems that people want to do that anyway.

[imagen] RGJ: because there is a separate salt field a few lines below. Oops! Thanks, Richard. @pmule , if you want imported passwords to work, you should pay attention to this!

Thanks. Now the import_users passed, but now it failed on import_categories when executing raw = process_discuzx_post(row['rules'], nil) if @bbcode_to_md raw = raw.bbcode_to_md(false) rescue raw end category.topic.posts.first.update_attribute(:raw, raw) wi…

Maybe include it but default it to off? Explain the downsides in the place where you would enable it?
