OK I've got an issue, hopefully y'all can help me.

I've got a Vbulletin system running 3.8

I've come across another board, and we want to merge our two forums together.

I want their forum to be under its own section.

Their forum is a phpbb system

Is there any way to merge a phpbb into a current running vbulletin and have the phpbb threads and content to go into its own forum heading on my board?

Thanks for any help in advance.

I would guess you will be using Impex to import the posts/threads, so you really should be asking this question over in the Impex support forum on vb.com.

sounds like i'm over my head, I don't even know what impex is... I'll look into it thanks.

Well, how were you planning on merging the two boards? You need to use some sort of tool to do that and most people use Impex. Were you planning on using something else or some other method to do so?

I had no clue, thats pretty much the reason I was asking how to do it. I'll look into Impex and see if i can figure it out.

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