Hi everyone, I have created a forum (General Discussion Forum) on my site smsbucket.com/forum I am currently using phpbb forum script, but as you all know that people will join easily if I have vBulletin forum, right? I was wondering how much will it cost me to convert my phpbb forum to vBulletin? I know vBulletin license is $180, what extra charges will be applied? Also, is it possible that I use some other person's vBulletin license and in return I give him a permanent link on the footer of my forum?
I think, this is not true. No, there will be no other cost. After purchasing license, simply ask them to help you for transferring your forum to vbulletin. They will be happy to support you! I am not sure, but I think this is not allowed. but may be allowed, After purchasing license, you are welcome to host as many as you want. I would recommend you to wait for more comments or submit a ticket to jelsoft. Good Luck
After you bought vBulletin, you can download "impex". Just plug it into vbulletin itself and follow the steps in import your phpBB database.
Thank you very much for all your support. Actually I have decided to NOT buy vBulletin at the moment. However I will switch to SMF because it is free and their themes are very much like vBulletin themes. I will soon upgrade my forum to SMF Is anybody here expert in converting from phpbb to SMF?
