    Prep for upgrade to 4.1 - removing products?

    I'm currently running vBulletin 3.8.7 and am preparing my forum for an upgrade to 4.1 (Suite). I have several mods applied to the current 3.8.7 forum that I want to completely remove, including database tables. What I want is a clean installation of 3.8.7 so I can have a clean installation of 4.1 with nothing but vBulletin. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do this? I realize this is not a vBulletin specific request, but I figure you all would know how to do this.

    Any help is very much appreciated.

    Anything that doesn't have a direct upgrade in vB4 you should consider removing.

    You shouldn't use impex to do this. Just uninstall old addons you dont want to move and upgrade. Clean installs are a huge wasteof time and a massive lost in any search engine rankings.

      Zachary, thank you for the reply. Is there a list of vBulletin 3.8 tables somewhere that I can use to make sure I drop all unnecessary tables?

        There should be a mysql-schema.php file in the install folder.

            I'm so sorry but 1 more quick question:

            I have vBulletin Blog 2.0.0 installed in my 3.8 version. That I should not uninstall, correct?

              If you have the suite, it will be upgraded. If you don't but want it some day, don't uninstall it, just disable it.
