Preview of the site is now available: https://forum-import-test.openstreetmap.org/
The preview site does NOT allow login.

NOTE: So far only around 25% of the old forum has been imported. The importer is still running and expected to finish Friday 6th Jan 2023 15:00 UTC.

The forum and discourse snapshots used are from 19th December 2022.

This is NOT the final import test, bugs will be fixed and additional import runs will be done.

There are a few known bugs:

  1. The [url]...[/url] syntax has not been converted cleanly
  2. Many users have not been merged with existing accounts, this needs further investigation
  3. 1000s of users imported, but with disabled accounts due to missing email in fluxbb database.
  4. Avatar images are currently not migrated from fluxbb. Feature currently missing from importer.
  5. Any more? Minor styling issues will likely not be addressed.
