i'm changing servers as my current host is rubbbish (stay away from cancerhost.com)

whats the most quick and painless way to move my vbulletin over.

my forum has had the works done to it... custom smilies, my own style, hacks, etc..

plus i still want all the members, stats, posts, forums.

basically everything.

i was thinking do a database back up, copy my full forums folder over keeping everything intact, restore the backup on new server, change a few settings, everything should still work?

request your new hosting provider to move it - most will comply
