    When I log on my vBulletin license management I notice: Impex and really have no clue what Impex does on vBulletin.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks!

    It is used to import other none vBulletin databases into the vBulletin database. Lets say moving from phpBB to vBulletin. Impex makes it easy.

    Then I was really dummy! I had a 400 members forum on SMF and completly deleted becase didn't knew how to convert the db...
    I will look for an old back up and see it is anything to do.

    I found a SQL dump of vb site warez which have 5000 member's
    though i am interested in members only not the post in the dump or anything else

    my idea of using that dump is too connect that member db to mine and those members are registered here then email them to inform them that reset ur pass or etc etc. from that 5000 members even 500 see my site its worth for me
    can any one tell me out how to mix that dump with mine without loosing anything


    fore example


    "My site SQL & "Other SQL of some one else site"

    I want Members of "Other SQL of Some one else site into my site SQL"
    without overwriting of my xcisting members means those 5000 members + my site 380 Members.

    Nothing else to be imported Only Member's there Profile email no post's or anything else

    i will love it when some one helps me out in this thanks fellas



    some people told me to do it with IMPEX but how?

    If you still have the db backup u can use impex and convert it to vbulletin

    But passwords will change..
