Description
This will convert all tags from the Zoints thread tags hack to vB 3.7's tagging system.
Use
Simply upload the converttags.php to your forums root folder and run it in your browser. Once the script is done, delete it. Don't refresh the page after running it (this would give you an MySQL error).
Note:
vB 3.7's tagging system has a few additional settings which Zoints thread tags doesn't have, so it couldn't be converted.
UserID: vB 3.7 saves the ID of the user who added the tag in the database. In my converter, the ID will always be '1'. If you want to use a different one, let me know.
(I think the only time this is used is when you edit the tags of the thread: The tags added by you will be displayed in bold.)
Date: Whenever a tag is added, vB will save the date in the database. In my converter, it will always be the date you ran my script.
Once again, I'm putting this under beta stage for a while, until more people have tested it and got it to work.
I myself have been testing this many times and hope everything is working fine
Use at your own risk, I suggest running this on a test forum before.
Updates

19/4/2008: version 1.0.1: Made some changes which will hopefully fix some problems the users have had.
