The import will not change anything on the IPB database. It only reads the info.Steve Machol, former vBulletin Customer Support Manager (and NOT retired!)

You use ipb2.
Please also note that since IPB passwords are encrypted, they cannot be imported. Your users will need to reset their passwords after the import. You can read more about this here:
