Exporting / Importing VB & phpBB

Can you import phpBB files into vBulletin seamlessly if you so chose to go to vbulletin one day?

Your responses are much appreciated; not sure if I want to take the hit with vbulletin or just set one phpBB up first and see how it goes.

Thanks!

 

Yes, you can import from phpBB to vBulletin. I have try the importing process before

 

Thanks alot. I'm just learning about the serach function pardon the post lol.

That's good to know as 160$ is a decent chunk to throw on an idea your not sur will fly!

 

I switched from phpBB to vbulletin in september 2006, with the help of vbulletin's Impex software. It was easy and worth it.

 

My webmaster forums were once phpBB. Awesomely modded and the theme I have now was created for phpBB. I changed since I was sick of hearing people say "I don't register on phpBBs .. they are unprofessional". And I cannot say I am pleased with VB, even if it does have more features out of the box. I am having constant problems with it, poorly documented hacks and lack of support from the community.

 

What type of board do you run? I'd assume webmaster related ones will have pickier users?

 

use impex it will change your database to vBulletin if need a help with this feel free to request it from me i will do it for you

 

I am switching to vBulletin from phpBB, is it hard to restore the database once you have the backup?

 

nope its not hard if u want pm me i will do it for u

 

I just imported Punbb using Impex and I was amazed at how well everything went. The only problem I had was forgetting my database user password.
