Will the latest phpBB2 converter work from phpBB 2.0.4 to vBulletin 2.3.0?

Yes.

Quote:

Does it convert both user accounts and threads?

Yes. Otherwise, what would be the point?

It also converts Private Messages, Forums, and other essential stuff too.

Quote:

What happens if existing forum IDs in vBulletin conflict with forum IDs being imported from phpBB? Will the vBulletin forum(s) be overwritten?

of course not. All new IDs are assigned to the things, and data is adjusted accordingly to work with the new IDs. It will only be overwritten if you choose to have it be overwritten.

Quote:

Can I run the import once to test and then again to go live without encountering problems?

Not exactly or directly. What you can do is create a separate installation of vBulletin, and then run the importer on the temporary installation. If you like the results, just proceed with the import on the production board.

Good luck. I hope it works out for you

If you encounter any problems, post them here.
