Many thanks. Following your instructions for YaBB SE, I was able to import my YaBB Gold board with the following minor limitations, which I think are minor and much more than I'd hoped for.

1) Passwords (unencoded in YaBB Gold) made it into phpBBRC & Final, but were lost on the conversion to vBulletin. Users need to use the system's lost password link to get a new one.

5) I never understood what the point of the import into phpFinal was supposed to do. personally I got the same results when I skipped that step.

Ummm.... hope you do not run into problems... skipping the upgrade to phpbb 2.0 final changed the nature of the conversion.

The converter from YaBB to phpbb is openly stated to only work with phpbb RC4 (authors note). The converter from phpbb to vbulletin only works with 2.0 RELEASE or better.

If you had done the upgrade from phpbb RC4 to phpbb 2.0 FINAL I would surmise that your passwords would be in place.

Mine were.... and worked fine.

There were some database changes between RC4 and the final...

Just FYI... good luck...
