3. Is it possible to convert PHPbb forum data into vBullitin?

All the hack mod PHPbb has, vBulletin also has. I used to own PHPbb found it had too many critical security flaws, too many new patch releases.

1. VBulletin has threaded view display and registration filtering by ip and email addresses and many other functions which PHPbb does not have. It is worth the upgrade to vbulletin. You get what you pay for in this case.

2. Same in difficulty as in PHPbb

3. Yes, I transfer existing PHPbb members and post made by PHPbb users to VBullitin using the admin control panel, it is tricky after that as users fit under a special category migrated users. This special status is just a special status, these users are 100% like regular users, good programmers like to keep track of every transaction for debugging purpose. The support is very quick you enail email them and get quick response.
