    considering changeover

    I'm considering changing from ubb 6.1.x to vb. I've been reading the forums regarding 6.2.x changeover problems...is this an issue with ubb 6.1 as well?

    I'd be changing hosting companies and bb software at the same time, so what order would I do everything in? (switch hosts, changeover to vb)

    thanks

    The UBB 6.1x importer works fine. They are still working on the 6.2 importer which will hopefully be finished soon.

    The way the import works is that you need to have the UBB CGI and NON-CGI files on the same server as vB. So I would recommend you switch hosts first, then install vB on the new host.

      but then would I have to reinstall ubb on the new server first or could I just bring the files over and install vb?

        You could just bring the files over. Don't delete *anything* until you have successfully completed your ipmort.
