Hi there,
I'm going to purchase a licence for my phpBB forum and convert it to VB, so I'm harvesting the VB forum these days to know much more about Importing from phpBB (2.0.6) to VB,
Anyways, I have some question before I finally push the purchase button, and as I'm using my current forum for my Business so I just want to reduce the future problems and do not take down my forum for sevral days,
1. My forum is a Persian one, (3500 members and 45000 posts) and I think there is no persian VB forum, does VB support Unicode characteres, (UTF-8) ? does it have any problem with double byte characteres?
2. Does importing data from phpBB make any change in phpbb tables or just read the datas from them!? (I don't like losing my old phpBB forum!)
3. Does VB's members area offer any free templates or I have to buy them too?!
4. Is it possible to convert from phpBB directly to VB3? Or I need to convert it to VB2.3.3 first?! Is there any importer from phpbb to VB3 out there?
Vbulletin is a really great script and I'll be so happy using it for my current phpBB forum, but I like to know more, So please somebody answer the above questions,
Regards
