Wanted: Service phpbb to vbulletin

[GodBlessYou]

Hey guys, I have a phpbb forum but I need to move it to vbulletin without losing any posts/members etc. I also would like to keep the same skin (if possible). What's your price? Please pm or reply.

Search Impex on vbulletin forums.

I don't think you can keep the same skin, probably you have to do another one.

To import the users and posts, GiantDomains is right... what you need is Impex.

Don't forget to backup everything!! Good luck

The impex tool bundled with vBulletin makes the conversion fairly straight forward. Have both the source board and new board on the same server to make the transfer easier.

I think impex handles all the stuff stored in the database. You'll need to check with your skin's designer to see if he/she also made a version for vbulletin, otherwise you may need to hire someone to create it.

If you are importing from phpBB then no they are not.

no as in they don't need to be reset?
Thanks!

Yes, they don't need to reset passwords. Everything is imported.

Impex works well.. but not everyting is imported, so keep a backup of your PHPBB... until you have VB working as you want...

I have used impex to transfer a fairly large phpbb forum before, thousands of members and many thousands of posts.. Worked great for the most part.

Passwords and most member information is transferred.
