NoGi Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Has anyone here merged 2 separate IPS4 forums into a single forum before? You can merge a non IPS forum into an existing forum but no mechanism to put 2 IPS4 forums together. I've asked support and they have confirmed this. Want to know if anyone has done this outside of support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 There isn't a method to do so currently, this will be a future addition to the conversion application, however this portion of it isn't completed just yet. Short of a proper converter app to do so, the only other way would be to convert once of the sites to something that supports an IPS4 conversion, then once one is converted, convert the second one to the same site, then convert back to IPS4. Pretty much a circle jerk around the town and back to get it done, it would be better to wait a little while longer for a proper IPS Converter that supports this.

NoGi Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Yeah that's what I thought I would have to do. Any indication of when the conversation tool will have this update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoGi Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 @Ryan Ashbrook any upcoming plans to update the migration tool to include a IPS4 -> IPS4 merge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the update. Is there a way to currently do a merge outside of the conversation tool? I'm asking as I am currently discussing a potential merger atm and both forums are on IPS4 and wouldn't want to run them separately for an undetermined time.

That said, the 4.x converter has been "in the pipeline" for almost 2 years. For those holding off, is this coming in the 4th quarter or more like in v5.0?

It's still on our Converter roadmap that we're actively working through (the next version includes two new converters ). I wouldn't expect to see it before the end of 2016 though.
