I am about to combine my old Invision Power Board 2.1.7 with my current vBulletin 3.6 board and want to know if it will work out alright, even if there is errors, I will find it and fix it.

EDIT: Now I am trying to configure them and make it so that there's both boards. How do I do that?

You use Impex to import the data from IPB to your vB. Please read the online Impex import instructions here:

Also please view the 'After the Import' instructions here:

Thanks, I am running tons of queries to clear out the main database at the normal forum so I can easily send the other users to the normal.
Thanks for the guides.

This is what is known as a merge import.

Ok, lol.
I think this will work, I already tested on my home server, so :D

It will be fine, its what ImpEx is designed to do, just back a back up before merging and test it a few times :)
