A question before I start - convert first or hack?

Hi!

I'm planing to convert phpbb3 to vbulletin but... i have a question

I want to install about ~10 mods...

what is the best way?...

to convert and then install mods
or
is better to install mods and then convert?

Thanks!

:confused:

I'd imagine that phpbb3 mods are not compatible with vbulletin. You'd need to uninstall the mods so that it's a unmodded forum, then import the database to vbulletin. Then use vbulletin mods.

I believe he is talking about converting a board, and installing some (vBulletin) modifications into vBulletin.

Frankly, it does not matter which order you do them in. Also, if you are having to install heaps of modifications, re-think if you actually need them.
