Can i just migrate my existing vb database tables and data ( from vb2.3.0 ) to a fresh new install of the latest vb3 Gamma ?

I am willing to lose all my existing hacks.

Please advise on pros/cons, thnks

You will have to run the upgrade scripts on your vB 2.3.0 database for it to work with the Gamma. The reason begin that vB 3's db schema is alot differnt then vB 2's.

Hi Brad, thanks for the quick reply.

Which specific files do i need to run ? it is just to amend the database structure , no ?

Can i just run the upgrade files to change the database structure with the data inside, delete the old vb2 files and install a freshcopy of vb3 ?

not sure if i am making sense here

Deleate the current vB 2 files from the server, upload the vB 3 gamma files and point config.php to your vB 2 database.

Run /forum/install/upgrade.php via the browser and it should take care of everything for you, after it is done log-in to your new admin cp and make sure everything is set-up correctly.

Keep a back-up of your vB 2 files and database before upgrading.

Just upgrade as per normal - that is the same as what you are saying in the first post.

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