Hi there,

I would like to convert my current forums (phpBB) to Vbulletin. Before paying and everything I would to know if there is an easy process to get the user database and posts across from phpBB to VB.

Is this possible?

Many thanks

hi,

Yes with impex the "importing" system that will convert your phpBB2 to vbulletin.Impex is in the vbulletin members area...

I converted from phpbb a few months ago - the conversion went perfectly....and I'd thoroughly recommend vBulletin :banana:

Ditto, I transferred a phpBB board that was hacked to death over to vB -- no problems at all!

the conversion went perfectly and vB was sooooo much eaiser to customize the css... i'm not one to say 'never' but it'll be a cold day you know where before I go back to phpBB2

it's very easy to convert your forum. Did you watch my impex video

You can easily see it on vbulletin.com

Now it's included English Subtitle

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