Please bear with me if this question has been asked many times and aptly answered. I did a search and couldn't find answer to my question.
We are running VBulletin 3.6.7 currently with many plugins.
The website is plagued with phishing subdirectories and there is no way for us to clean up as the foot prints are in far too many files/directories.
I suppose it is time to upgrade.
My question is:
Can we remove the account completely from the server, recreate and new one then ftp the VBulletin 5 files over to the fresh account install?
If we do the above, what will be the upgrade options?
We will have backed up the database of course. But what are the chances if we do an import into VBulletin 5 the forums will work as cleanly sans the plugins from the older version?
Is there an upgrade path for VBulletin from 3.6.7 to 5 at all?
Appreciate if you can answer the above.
