Hi, I actually just purchased vBulletin, but where is the best place to get started on "how to"? I currently have a forum on one domain with SMF and want to transfer it to VBulletin on a new domain. But I am not sure where to start other than downloading the software! A link to the start up info would be awesome!

Just download vB, install it, then download impex and import your SMF forum to vB.

The documentation (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/) is online.

Thanks guys. Apparently I was too hasty in my decision to finally purchase vBulletin. My host is on version 3.23.58 of MySQL and vBulletin requires at least 4.0.16. I sure hope they can update it :(

I was so excited to finally have bought this...hmpf



vBulletin 3.6.7 requires MySQL version 4.0.16 or greater. Your MySQL is version 3.23.58, please ask your host to upgrade.
