    IPB to VB password impex?

    I've read about the success of many people doing an impex and from IPB to VB but I'm concerned about the whole password difference and members having to reset their passwords deal.

    However I could swear I read somewhere (forgot to bookmark it) that someone figured out a way to import the passwords too.

    Anyone know anything about this issue?

    Had the same issue, so I wrote a vB plugin to handle it...it intercepts login attempts, validates them against the old IPB database, and if validated, sets the user's vB password to be the same, then logs them into vB.
