Converting PHPFanList to BellaBuffs

If you're currently using PHPFanList 2.3.1 and want to convert to BellaBuffs, follow these instructions:

Download convert-from-phpfanlist.zip and extract the PHP file inside then upload it to your PHPFanList fanlisting directory. Visit the file in your browser — the file will be located somewhere like: http://your-domain.com/your-fl/convert-from-phpfanlist.php.
If all has gone well, you should see a whole load of information in your browser — you need to copy this to a text file and save it as members.txt to somewhere like your desktop.

Download and configure BellaBuffs, then upload it to your website (instructions are in the BellaBuffs readme.txt). When everything is uploaded, overwrite the empty BellaBuffs members.txt file that comes with the script, with the file you filled with data earlier on (upload it over the top).

If the conversion was successful, your member count should now register the same as it was when you were using PHPFanList (on the index page of your fanlisting).
