Okay... this is my UB2k 2.2.x to vBulletin 2.0.x importer. It can import styles (= skins), users, forums, moderators, posts and private messages.
This Importer has been created for vBulletin 2.0.3! The most things work correctly with 2.2.x (it will import the styles, users, forums, moderators, posts and private messages) but some features like setting new passwords for admins doesn't work. I don't want to create a new version as I don't think there are many UB2k users left who could import...
This script does not work with the vB import system as I wanted to have it independent of the vB directory (some servers are not able to read files in directories like ../../ub2k/). You can upload the script to any directory where you can access the UB2k directory and the vBulletin database.
A manual is in the zip file. Please do not email or pm me if you have questions or found bugs. Please simply answer the thread.
Known bugs:
- On some servers you need to chmod the directory "ubimporter" to 777...

So that mean that when I import from UB2K, what's imported is the Nickname and not the username. After that my users will need to type their nickname instead of what they use to do was type their username for login in?
What about the password? Will it remain the same during the import? Or will they have to change or request their password via email in order to successfully log in?
[off topic question]
Doing my local test of the software on my Win2k running apache, php and mysql I noticed that Unregistered members don't have the smiles at the left side of the message box, but registered members do have it. Is that normal or can I change it so all users (registered or not) have the smiles at the left side of the box?

It is NOT possible to import the passwords as the UltraBoard encrypts the password, the vBulletin not. The users will have to use the "send password" functions. The other option is to use the "email all users" feature in the cp - so you can simply send every user the new password...

I get this error: Inserting temporary data... done.
Preparing user files... Error: Can't copy the Accounts.export
ubimporter.php and it's directory is CHMODed 777.
You must chmod the directory "ubimporter", not the directory of the ubimporter.php. Example: If you UltraBoard is in /cgi-bin/UltraBoard/ you would place the ubimporter.php in / and then create a new directory /ubimporter
I'm still getting the "Can't copy Accounts.export" and it fails importing posts with "Error: Could not find backup file!" I've looked at the paths but I must be braindead or something...
Last eeror I get is "Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /home/lineside/public_html/ubimporter.php on line 1592
done." probably a result of the other problems with my board...
Thanks - and nice work on the script. I think the problem is more with me that your script GC
