When I was trying to import a myBB database, which the last time I saw it being 1.4. But that's just from what my memory serves me.

So, I impex'd the database, problem:

It can't parse the mybb_ prefixes. _

Here's the error report:

Testing source against : MyBB ::0.0.1

Valid found tables :

Possibly custom tables or incorrect prefix :

If you have all red tables, i.e. none correct this could possible be your table prefix :

mybb_
Failed Check database permissions and connection, or table prefix to ensure its correct

----------
I go check the database, and I'm seeing "mybb_" showing in the phpmyadmin kernel.

What happened was, I exported the database from a mybb site, only from the administrator side, though.

So, now I have the file, I have the live board up, I have the database running. Now to dump the old database into the new one.

One problem: The old database source was a gz file, which I happened to extracted it as ".sql" so obviously, this would cause some incompatibility. Not detered by it, I try the import. I go to my 3.8.7 instance and ran the import - the above error[s] shows up.

I realize, and think that this database may be a earlier, or later version - since vbulletin doesn't recognize the database at all. :|

Attached is the entire contents of it. Once the staff has investigated it, I would like [you] staff to delete it from the server.

So, my suggestion is to update ImPex to work with 1.5 and 1.6.
