Hello guys and girls alike!
I took over control of a board that is running phpBB (latest version) and it has been driving me insane.
So, I am thinking of purchasing another license of VB to upgrade to.
My only big concern here is transfer of data and users.
I would feel like a total asshat if I made everyone re register at a new forum and have to re-post all those threads, however I cannot stand phpBB and luff my VB

I understand there is a migration or transfer script/kit that comes with VB, but have never done something like this before.
Is this a hard process?
Does it bring over user accounts, password, posts, forums, etc?

Any advice, tips or info would rock!
TY@~~!

It's actually very easy to do. And yes, it will bring all that information over. Some information, you may lose, I can't remember which though as I haven't done this in a long time

Ok, I will have to give it a shot.

do you by chance know if this package comes with the download?
(I am at work and don't wana download and unpack the .zip file to see)

If you're asking does vBulletin come with the ImpEx download, then yes. Once you have your access to the members area on vbulletin.com you will have 2 links, 1.) Download vBulletin and 2.) Download ImpEx

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