Take a sql of your database and import it to the new database.

You're far better off with v3.8.8 IMO.

The structures are completely different.....this isn't going to be possible.

I have heard some people say there is paid services out there that can do it, and IIRC there were some people reporting converting vB5 to some other forum software then going from that to vB4

"Look before you leap" seems to be operative here.

And we'll take the word of the consumer that they've fully uninstalled the software from any and all websites and have deleted their copy, correct? How many days do you get to return it? Virtually no ordered products have an open ended return policy. You have so much time to return them to the manufacturer. How long do you get to run a board before you've decided you don't like it? Do you go back to one of your previous license statuses?

Software downloads are a tricky thing to ask refunds for, considering you don't have a tangible product to return to the manufacturer. Both Apple and MicroSoft have a software return policy that requires you uninstall the product from any computer. But I imagine there are ways to enforce that, and in those cases you have a disc you can return. Some manufacturers allow return of their software only if the package has not been opened. On the other hand, what you purchased form vB was a license, not a tangible, returnable product. What you're asking for, I don't think there's a business model for it.

I think you're dodging the context here, which is pretty unilateral discontent with Vbulletin. If something doesn't change, like refunds to all downloads, it'll be the end of vb. In any case, they're probably finished - there are so many new startups now that'll take the market.

Not at all. I'm saying that you're asking one company to invoke a standard that has no precedence, or really good way to do. Based on you're own perception of discontent. Be wary of the echo chamber. A bunch of people getting on the same website(s) about the same subject over and over again, is hardly an accurate measure to go by.

If you're not allowed to say something they don't like, why is your thread still there? You're not listed as banned member.

No, not really. You never really said why you couldn't post.

  • Do your research.
  • Count your costs.
  • Also hold yourself accountable for your purchasing decisions.

I'm not really sure how "rose-colored" applies here.

Um, a thread is accurate measure?
