    Hello. I was just wondering I have a forum that uses PHPBB and I was wondering if it would be possible to change it to a vbulletin script. If I did this would I lose all the post and users and have to start over or is there a way to transfer all the users and posts. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    Yes, you can upgrade your forum to any other forum software without losing posts, threads and members.

    I got my forum upgraded from phpbb to VB without losing anything. If you like, you can contact me and I will send you to the coder who did the wonderful job for me.

    If you have rather large forum that you want to convert then the best method would be to hire someone from elance who'll create a manual script for you which would pull all the posts & threads from previous forum and then post on the new forum.

    There are a few softwares our there too that are doing a similar job like forum leechers.

    If you buy VB you get access to a whole list of convertors who will do the job just fine

    Yes if you buy vbulletin it comes with IMPEX which has a long list of convertors!
    But it is a great idea to have someone experienced with converting boards to do this task ...
    if you need someone let me know.
