Its really easy. You will get everything you need from VB. Read the instructions and after a few uploads and clicks you are done.

It is easy, but can be time consuming for a large forum. Just whatever you do make sure you have a clean backup of your database before you do anything.

It's very easy with vB's ImpEx system. If you need help there's the online doc center found on the vbulletin website. Just be sure you backup both of your database before try it.

I dont mean to beat the dead horse, but as they have said, it's not too bad at all. Considering all the data that needs to be converted, the process is actually pretty amazing.

By the way. Not all data will be moved. You will probably lose a few minor things but its worth it.
