ipb 2.33 -> vb 3.86 ampersands in name and Fatal PHP error
 

When trying to import users, here is an error I get:

Code:
PHP Fatal error: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Failed evaluating code: \n$this->unconvert_size(&quot;8&quot;, &quot;<!--/sizeo--><i><td valign=\\&quot;top\\&quot; class=\\&quot;{$post['post_css']}\\&quot;><br /> \t<span class=\\&quot;postdetails\\&quot;><br /> \t\t{$author['avatar']}<br /><br /><br /> \t\t{$author['title']}<br /><br /><b> \t<!--\t{$author['member_rank_img']}<br /><br /> --><br /> \t<!--\t{$author['member_group']}<br /> --><br /> \t<!--\t{$author['member_posts']}<br /> --><br /> \t<!--\t{$author['member_joined']}<br /> --></b><br /> \t\t{$author['member_location']}<br /><b> \t<!--\t{$author['member_number']}<br in /forums/impex/systems/ipb2/000.php on line 79,

I tried doing the import after commenting it out. I am guessing this is why there are now &'s in the username and other such screwups.. Any fix here?
