> I haven’t got to attachments yet, but our forum uses attachments that are stored in the DB it seems. Will this be handled by the script or do I need to make changes?

I figured out a neat way to fix this. On the vb forum go to the attachment and switch storage to file based. It will ask for a folder and export all the attachments to that folder. When it is done, it will ask you to finalise this. At this point if you say no you have a folder with all the attachments but the forum is left untouched with attachments in the db.
