From what forum software did you convert to vBulletin to?
phpBB 2.0.13
How big is the database in file size? (compressed/uncompressed, database or flatfile)
150MB uncompressed
How many registered members?
9,471
How many threads?
14,394
How many posts?
307,371
How many attachments? (total and file size)
26,211 transferred(lost 308)
And do you remember how long it took you to do the actual convert?
144 minutes for the final convert. but about 15 hours of straight testing/troubleshooting before i finally got it right.
overall i was very happy. i had problems with getting the posts to transfer at first, it would get stuck around 36,000 for some reason. but after a fresh vBulletin install and some database work, i got everything to work ok. i expected to lose my attachments but was VERY surprised to keep almost all of them. i did lose avatars as it would error out on me every time and i just didn't really care to transfer them anyway. i will say i did have to delete a user and add fake emails for a few others because they were messing up my user transfer. usergroups lost permissions but maintained members. by the time it was all over with (two days ago) i was extremely relieved.
I added a screenshot of the impex import screen.
