[Less1234]

Thinking about buying vBulletin I would be upgrading from phpbb3 will their be any issues with post or attachments for the current post?

Also note my phpbb3 was upgraded from phpbb2 will this be a problem?

I think that impex will ask you what is the attachments directory where there reside....and if it inserted correctly impex will find and will import them....

So nobody has tested this yet?

Is their a demo version that can be tried before you buy to verify the conversion is going to work, we have over 18,000 attachments and our site would be worthless if the conversion does not work properly.
