Thank you so much Superman

I have read your reply over and again and have understood how to move with the import. This is what I'm going to do, please correct me if I'm going wrong anywhere.

I would be installing the vBulletin 3 in root/vbulletin folder just to avoid any kind of conflict with the current installation. Once vBulletin is installed and working just fine, I will upgrade it to vB4 and immediately will upgrade to vB5 Connect. I do wish to use the vB CMS (Blog, etc) so that I can use all the aspects of the software.

Once upgraded to vB 5 connect, I will remove the SMF installation and move all the files from vBulletin folder to the root of the domain and change BBurl.

Is that the correct way to do it? Please correct me if I'm wrong anywhere or if I should do anything differently.

Just another question .. Where should I install Impex through this time? Should the Impex be installed on the root of the domain while the SMF installation is in FORUM folder and VB3 installation is in the vBulletin folder? Should I keep the Impex once everything is done or can I delete it?

Appreciate your help and support

Regards.
