    Import PHPBB to VB3?

    Is it possible to take my PHPBB forum (2.0.6) and keep ALL my MEMBERS and POSTS and upgrade it to vbulletin?

    I really hate phpbb, but I have a TON of DATA that I'd like to keep! Hopefully I can get all the data into the new vbulletin.

    If this is possible, is there a link for a tutorial that would show me step by step?

    You can use the ImpEx System to import most of the phpBB data into vBulletin

    Here is what the phpBB importer will import http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...06&postcount=2

      Where can I get this ImpEx? This sounds like the perfect solution!

          Just to reassure you AllJin, I did a migration from phpBB 2.0.8 to vB303 a few months ago and have not looked back since. phpBB served me well for 18 months but I got fed up with a few things and needed better service and software.

          I did the migration tentatively (as I am not really a strong teckie) and was delighted at how it all went. My users love their new forum, they love vB and all is running well...

          If I can help in my limited way, I will .... good luck.
