Conversion phpBB to vBulletin

[samehfr]

We would like to upgrade our forums to vBulletin, but we also would like to keep the posts and registered users in the database,

[Lynne]

You may use ImpEx to import your phpBB forum into vB4 and then upgrade your site from vB4 to vB5 (if you wanted to run vB5). There is no ImpEx to go directly to vB5.

Thank you.

Its a Pre-sales forum, its possible that they are asking this question before they fork out all the money on vb. No need in paying a lot of money if you cannot convert your current forum to a new forum and lose all the data, so I'm unclear as to why you posted that.

In this case, Len is correct. As the OP asked if they switch their forums to vBulletin, from what ever they are using, if their posts and users would remain intact. They were not looking for specific support.

I am just trying to figure out why Force replied to a post that is a month old, after Lynne already handled it.

LOL did not even see that. I thought it was odd that he was giving the standard vb mod post about license stuff when it does not look he's a mod! Maybe he's applying for the job??

Might be a SOCK of one of the actual mods? And forgot what account they were posting with?
