Hello, I recently bought vBulliten, which I am very satisified with. What I need to know is...how to replace my phpbb forums with my vBulliten forums, but keep all the database info?

You can use ImpEx to import the phpbb data into vBulletin.

ImpEx can be downloaded in the members area at vBulletin.com.

Have you looked at the vBulletin Documentation?

Appendix 5 explains the ImpEx system.

When I try it, it says there's an error selecting the usernames and etc. The select is right, the table name is right, and the colum names are right..nothing is wrong with the query when we do impex, yet it doesent work

Now...it doesent even give me the option to fricking install it!! All it gives me is the option to restart the db, or go to the help manual! I'm very confused!

Also have you tried teh vbulletin.com forums? I bet someone on there would step by step you through it. I see that question on there all the time

Please read the stickied topics on importing in the top of the Import System forum at vb.com. If you can't get it to work after that, please post in that forum on vb.com

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