Upgrading to 3.5

[Romeos Tune]

Hey Guys,

I am going to go to 3.5 when it is released. I'm wanting to start over completely and lose every single hack and re-install. Is there something or someone that could show me how to do this without deleting my userbase or all my posts and counts?

i have the same problem but already upgraded to 3.5 now in my admincp there are options which are no longer in use like warning hack.
i hope someone here releases a script soon which will just pull out the needed data without the modifications.

The way to start fresh without ALL hack data, is to use ImpEx to create a copy of your 3.0 board before upgrading to 3.5.

Use ImpEx as Marco suggested or you could manually remove the items in your vBulletin Options by putting your board into debug mode.

Just place the following code anywhere in your config.php file; located in your includes folder. Then go into your AdminCP -> vBulletin Options. Double-click whatever Option Group you wish to remove, when the new page loads click on Delete.

$config['Misc']['debug'] = 1;

Be sure you remove the code from config.php when you're done... or you could set the 1 in the code to a 0.
