Hi all,
I have a PHPBB forum, and I purchsed a VBulletin license a while ago, and I need someone to convert the forum from PHPBB to Vbulletin.

How do I approach this?
I know I should post in the 'Service Request' section, but what should I ask for as far as knowledge goes and what should I expect to give away as far as passwords/access?

Can't wait to get a decent forum software running :-)

Unless you know someone then the service requests is probably the best place.

Anyone doing it is going to need at least ftp access and mysql access.

Impex is the tool you would use, yes.

I'm not familiar with Impex, shouldn't matter as I'm not looking to do this myself. I appreciate the feedback from you all and will be posting for hired help in the 'Service Request' forum shortly :)
