Hello I would like to convert my board from IPB3 to VB. I notice the ImPex converter only covers IPB2 and 1 but not 3. Has anyone figured out yet a good way to do this conversion. Or a way I can downgrade IPB3 to IPB2 then convert it.

I am really stuck on this issue and have searched the web for the answer and most people seem to think its just an impossible task. Id really love to switch to VB but this is stopping me.

Thanks in advance and if this is in the wrong place I apologise please move to the correct area and not delete. Thanks

Have you tried asking in the vBulletin.com vBulletin Impex Import System forum?

PS according to List of all systems modules it is supported.

Yes I figured it out. It seems all the "googled" links I brought up were saying impex did not support it but they were old links. Seems VB didnt add support until well after it came out of beta (ipb3 that is)

Thanks for the help

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