What version/s of Ikonboard does it convert from?

Do you need to start with an empty Vbulletin database? If not, does it import the past post count?

you can start with an existing database, however for test purposes, there is a paragraph commented out which creates it for you if you uncomment it

it imports from all versions of IB that use flat text files (well all of 2.x anyway), it converts most things including postcount, date of birth, homepage, icq number etc. and puts it in the vbulletin database
overwrites existing users with the same name in the database (well its supposed to but i havent had the opportunity to test that bit)

I'm not very interested in the user converter since most of my users are well established on my vB now, but would definitely be interested in the post converter so I can remove iB from my server completely.

but it will not work with the new files where the data is in hexcode?

i need such a converter very urgent
