Hello

I am looking for a phpbb to vBulletin Convertor

Is there any thing out there that can do this? :confused:

Hi! Here is the answer to your question...

Currently, there is no converter from phpBB -> vBulletin 3

You'll need vBulletin version 2 to do this:

The first thing that you need to do is download the Import Scripts from the Member's Area, then place them in a directory called "importers" in the root directory of your forum. Then, follow these instructions vbulletin.com/manual/import.html

Next, you can upgrade to vBulletin 3 ( if you want ) by just downloading it from the Members Area and following the upgrade instructions included with it.

Hope that helps :)

Only other thing you could try is going to vbulletin.org if they don't have one their it is very likely they will do soon :)

I also saw a guy on vbulletin.com offering to make one. If you have a search "PhpBB converter" you should find his post.

Good luck :D

It's hard to say your better off putting a post on their site and asking them. They also have hack requests - so why not request that :)

Good luck with it neway :D
