Well Im not new to using the Vbulletin but i used version of 2001 and 2002 so now i see that newer versions and so much better then most boards around. anyway.
i plan to buy this board if anyone knows if i can transfer a 10000 post bulleting board currently running phpbb2 into vbulletin.

also if there is templates or diffrent themes that i can use with vbulletin and if they are available without extra charge. and how many languages are supported.

Hi

You can import the data from phpBB easily. We offer four official languages, but there are additional inofficial language packs available.

I appears that the import script, impex, can import everything from phpbb2. I have not tried however I know it can be done.

As far as different themes, once you are licensed, you are free to check out all that is available over at vbulletin.org

hope that helps!

here is a popular place to look at for styles:

for the ImpEx system, hundreds or even thousands of websites are ported from phpBB to vBulletin each years, so you sure will have that possibility.. :) with ease!
