    Possible to export vBulletin Forum to import in Publishing Suite?

    I am planning to buy vBulletin Classic Forum in the first place. Then if it gets popular, I want to add a home page which I need the Pubishing Suite for. Can I then theoretically back-up the threads, users, posts etc. from the forum, and somehow import them to the new forum in the newly bought Publishing Suite?

    Don't need to import - you simply upgrade from Forums to Publishing Suite and the additional producst are added onto your existing Forum product. Al threads, posts and users remain intact

    - Add Admin ability to auto-subscribe users to specific channel(s) (vB6)

      You don't need to if you've already bought a previous version of vBulletin, or the classic forum, but if you're considering upgrading it's worth while checking that you completely understand the navigation manager in vB4 in your test installation first before upgrading your live site.

      When you get vB4 that's at:

      - admin CP
      - settings

      And it's the third option down.
