    Convert an SMF 1.1.3 to the latest version of VBulletin

    Hi,

    I would like to get the latest version of Vbulletin for my site.. I currenty have the SMF 1.1.3 and I would like to convert it to your latest version. However, before doing so, I would like to clarify some things.

    My site has around 6000 members and 30 000 posts. Is it possible to do so without losing my URLs? I need to know this since 90% of my traffic comes from Google and I certainly cannot lose this.

    I need your help on this.

    Looking forward to some insights.

    No, you cannot import and retain your SMF URLs. Sorry.

      I think when you Impex a site, there was a tool to produce proper 301 redirects using the importid the process generates and from what I understand no traffic is lost and google should quickly get the new urls.
