ok I just bought vbulletin yesterday night and I posted a help thread in the main vbulletin forum but no one seems to understand how to solve this problem , I would really like someone who is well knowledgeable in vbulletin to help me.

Well first of all I have sucessfully installed vbulletin and next I want to transfer my old data/mysql DB from my invision 2.0.4 forum to Vbulletin 3.0.8 but I can't seem to do that without a converter which was like something that converted my phpbb DB to the INvison data last time.

Right now a guy introduced me something called impex and so I uploaded it into my forums folder and the next step is pretty confusing how do I even use it? I read many post but can't seem to understand the next step , if anyone would help me, I would really appreciate it since this is something really hard I encounter with vbulletin.

This is the best way to explain it bud http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/

At the very bottom..I think 3rd from last is a whole section on IMPEX

Welcome magicalneo,

Nice to see you choose vBulletin.

The import utility ImpEx has it's own forum at vbulletin.com 'Import System'. Please make sure you read the stickied threads in the top of this forum, they will explain a lot.

If you still have questions, please post them in that forum, and i am sure you will get answers fast.

Please note that ImpEx currently don't support converting directly to vB3.5.

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