I have downloaded the script from the members area but I have some questions before i covert.

1.) How do I exactly covert? Do both the vB and the ubb have to be in the same directory? Or how does that all exactlly work?

2.) Once i do covert will my ubb be deleted? Or will I just get all my members and posts moved over to vB and the UBB will still be there?

3.) That's all I really need to know so if someone would be kind enough to answer these questions i'd be very greatful, thanks!

1. They need to be on the same server but not the same directory.

2. This won't modify your UBB at all. It's best to turn off your forums though before beginning the conversion.

Alright thanks, I'll try to covert it now, i hope everything goes well. If I have any problems I'll be sure to report back here.

What the heck do I put for:

Relative Path from vBulletin folder to UBB non-cgi folder

I don't understand that part?

It'll be something like...

/home/site4/html/ubb/

You can look into your UBB config file and see what it says.

No it won't :) that would be the absolute path.

If for example vB was at /home/james/public_html/vbulletin, and UBB was at /home/james/public_html/ubb, the relative path would be '../ubb' (sans quotes) :)
