    ImPex question

    Is the impex script working to export vB4 to vB5 Beta?

    Cannot find any information about that.

    Thanks

    No, you will have to upgrade the forum. However things have changed drastically in vb 5 so you will have to perform the upgrade in a different way than the traditional upgrade process. There is a guide floating around on the subject.

    Something to note, vb 5 is still in beta stage and as such it would be better to not be used on a live site until it reaches the final stage. However, should you proceed anyway with the upgrade, make a full backup of your db and forum files too.

    Or you can make a duplicate of your live forum to a test forum and upgrade that first to see how things will go.

      Im only doing it to see how it will look like.
      And to get a better feeling on how to customise and run the new version.

      Im depending on the CMS module too, so I guess there is a long wait before I can go over to vB5 Live.

      Thanks, I will try to find the guide.

        No... ImpEX is not an upgrade tool. You need to run the vBulletin 5 Upgrade Script included with the software.
