I’ve done a migration from vbulletin 3.8 to Discourse but have several major issues:

- bbcodes did not migrate properly, having tons of bbcodes in the Discourse now

- html strings (tables and many more, iframes) didn’t migrate (normal, but is there a way to properly migrate them to Discourse without having html tags anymore?

Has anyone done a proper migration from vb 3 to discourse fixing these problems?

Hi @Juless

Yes, we did it… see this summary for example:

> [@Completed Migration vB3 to Discourse including Legacy vB3 Thank You to Likes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/completed-migration-vb3-to-discourse-including-legacy-vb3-thank-you-to-likes/144674):

> Just completed, for the most part (still in test bed, but the “hard parts” are basically done and the migration works fine), migrating a 15 year old vb3 forum, which was originally (believe-it-or-not) a vb2 forum from 2000. This forum has been around for around 20 years (with unimaginable custom PHP code, tables, plugins, etc), and Discourse is the only forum software, in my view, “worthy” of a migration project, which I started around a week ago, going from feasibility to completion (basically…

You can see the results at our site.

It was very labor intensive and a very tiring process to get it nearly perfect because of 15 years of nested bbcode and a lot of mojibake, etc. over the years.

Hopefully, your forum is not “coding intensive” with over a decade of nested bbcode like ours.

I’ve done many, as imports are a considerable part of my living. They often require considerable fussing with the issues that you describe. It’s typically a matter of deciding how many of the issues that you have can be automatically fixed up. Often, the messages didn’t even display properly in the original forum!

Some of the bbcodes might be fixed if you set `@bbcode_to_md = true`. Others might be fixed with the bbcode plugin. The tables and iframes will be considerably more fussy, I imagine.

Where can I set the bbcode\_to\_md? Thanks.
