Default InvisionBoard to vBulletin
I've seen that I can't access to Invision Board Importer if I am not a licensed user of vBulletin, it is logical, but it's logical too that I don't want to buy a license without knowing if the conversion works fine or no.

I want change my forum engine to vBulletin, but if I can't import my database from InvisionBoard to vBulletin I can't change the forums (They have a lot of user and traffic).

Even if you had prior access to the IB Importer, what good would it do if you are not a licensed user of vB implying that you don't own vB? You cannot know if the conversion works fine as long as you haven't installed vB.

I personally know someone who got the convertor to work for him so that's a thumbs up

So at this time there IS a converter available to go from Invision to vB?

As in, right now I'm running Invision 1.1.2, if I purchased a vB license I'd be able to upgrade to it?

If so, how difficult is it to do this? What does it involve?

Is there anyone I can speak to that has made this move?

Thanks so much for your help...

There is a converter, yes.

it shouldn't be very difficult to run it, but if you need more info sales@vbulletin.com or the vbulletin.com board would be able to help you i'm sure
