Need help moving phpbb to vBulletin

    Im technically challenged! I have the slightest idea on what i need to do to get my phpbb board moved to a vBulletin board and get an iTrader mod set up.

    I dont know what server to go with since this is not my expertise. I am running a childrens clothing forum. I can pick out a stellar wardrobe for a child but talking to me about this might as well be in Chinese.:D

    Can anyone advise me on where I need to go to find someone who could do this all for me for a fee? PM or email me heather w610 @hotmail.com (all together)

    Thanks so much!!

    Use "IMPEX" ( You will find it in your client area at vbulletin )

    You can easily convert phpBB to vbulletin by IMPEX.

    If you do not understand what is going on, and need some serious help - open a trouble ticket at vbulletin.com.

    Their tech support people will give you all the help you need. That is one of the reasons to buy VB is because of the support - you paid for the support, use it.

    Log into the members area at VBulletin.com and open a support ticket - http://members.vbulletin.com/

    Firstly, you need to have a valid license (non warez) Vbulletin. Which means, if you're registered with vbulletin.com, your member area have a link to IMPEX. Download it and run it.
    It will guide you all the way on how to move from phpbb to vbulletin.

    Its simple actually, even a 10 year old can do it. Hope you're not using nulled vb though.
