We have over 90 installations of vbulletin with over 10000 members alltogether which we would like to merge into one overall board and manage centrally. Managment is a bit of a nightmare, the boards are related - we have made 90 boards for separate geographic regions of the country

this is what we would like to do...

Main Menu -

Board 1
Category1
Forum1
Thread1
Thread2
Thread3 etc
Forum2
Forum3
Category2
Category3
Category4

Board 2

Board 3

Board 4-90 etc

any ideas would be great.
Happy New Year to everyone,
G

You can use ImpEx to merge vBulletin boards. 90 is a lot of boards though.

Wow. Good luck with that task o.o

It could be done... with impex and A LOT of work.

Wow... it could get messy. LOL

I have some ideas....

First create your new board with all the forums the way you want them then run query on the old ones to make the forum ids match up to the new ones. Dont import the forum categories just the posts to the new ones.

Not sure if that would work just an idea...

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
