Can I get an official answer on upgrading from 2.x to a 3.x forum? Like I said, I am not interesting in upgrading to the beta and if it's not going to be out of beta this week or next then I was going to go with the latest 3.x version that was stable.

Brad, will your instructions there work with a heavily modified forum? I wasn't sure if any script would do the job seeing as how a bunch of my files are changed. For instance, I have a journal hack, but I don't mind if it's lost or any of the other hacks are lost. Will the script you are talking about (impex?) just grab the usernames, posts and all main stuff? I don't care about transfering the hacks as that I assume would be impossible, nor do I really want to transfer any of them.

I think the main question I have right now is can I upgrade in one move from my 2.x install to 3.0.7 without having to upgrade to a middle version inbetween before upgrading to 3.0.7?

If I want to upgrade to 3.0.7 would the instructions be as simple as:

1. Close vB 2.x forum
2. Delete vB 2.x files from server
3. Upload 3.0.x files
4. Run upgrade script from 3.0.x
5. Verify forum is working correctly and open board

That sounds simple enough, but can a hacked forum cause problems with the script? I didn't want to close my forum, delete the files from the server and get to the point of running the upgrade script and it has a problem converting my forum info to 3.0.7

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