Was wondering if there is a hack out to convert my UBB database (registered users, settings) over to VBullitin? Was wondering before i get VB.

If so can you please point me towards the hack.
thanks,

it's not a hack, it's part of the official software.

All you have to do is download it from the members area after you buy the license.

It's not a hack. There's a UBB-to-vB import script in the vbulletin.com Members Area, but you need to be a licensed member to access it.

What version of UBB are you running?

Ultimate Bulletin BoardTM 6.05

btw thanks for the help! Now i plan on ordering VB since i can transfer over the UBB settings.

I believe the current UBB importers work for UBB 6.05 and under. So you should have no problems.

hello,
I have installed a clean copy of VB on my localhost. And downloaded my current UBB and let it run in order to run the importer.
When I ran the importer it kept trying for several minutes then gave me "CGI TIME OUT" error message.
I wish you help me come over this problem and import my current data base of UBB.
Note my version is: UBB 6.04e

Does PHP run as a CGI module on your server? If so you will need to modify the import file so it will run. You'll need to ask your host for instructions on doing this.

If it doesn't run as a CGI module, then fill out a support ticket at:

Be sure to include the login info to your Admin CP and FTP.

Thank you so much
I discovered that I was not trying the right importer
