Can I Install a fresh copy of vb and import old posts?
 

I want to upgrade to the latest version of vb, but I have too many plugins to go through. Can I install a fresh copy of vb and import all the old posts/attachment/user info from the db?

You don't need to import any vBulletin data to your new version. Basically disable all the products / plugins you have and back up your data and then follow the upgrading instructions.

Yes, but I would have to reapply all the template edits and migrate my plugins to the new version, which is why I wanted to know if I can import all the existing data into a new installation.

you could just import your database
however. templates are stored in the database, so when you import the database you will also import your template edits

Remove or turn off your plugin's/products.... then upgrade.

Those items that you want to re-install, just follow the template edits again.

What your saying really makes no sense.....
