Well, after sometime, I am looking for a very new and stable platform for my forums.
My site has 3600 members, and has like 73,000 posts.

phpbbfm has a lot of mods, so I want to save a lot of them, (all if possible) but I am not an expert about phpbb.

I decide to go with vbulleting (I didn?t purchase yet, until have some answers) and I am looking for this information:

-Can my phpbbfm forum be migrated to vbulletin?
-If it is possible, where can I get someone to do the job? looking for someone I can trust.
-Exits all this mods for vbulletin? Here is the list:

I know that maybe I am not using a lot of them, but maybe we can start from the basics.

Let me know.

Regards.

PS. My host charge me for backups, so that is another issue that I need to have on mind.

My site is www.acuarios-marinos.com

90% of these modifications are ACTUAL FEATURES of vBulletin... so you do not need to manipulate your forum a lot to have that list of features activated...

and the addons that are not inside the release yet are addons or products you will find easy to add (usually import a file from the AdminCP, small template editions, or drag-drop files in your directory.)

That sound great !!!!
Is it possible that a migration can be accomplished?

BTW, exists the vbulleting language "spanish" ?

Can someone do the work?

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=87 for translations... in Spanish, no problem...

Migration is called ImpEx: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=92

for someone doing the job, Jelsoft provide paid services for importing and support the job...

you can also call for a Paid Service (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=30) .. i don't think someone would do it for free btw.
