Hi folks,

I have a question that just popped into my head while down the pub sipping a pint!!

I am working on a site at the moment which will basically consist of a forum and not much else!

I am experiment with phpbb at the moment and will stick with that for a while.

But lets say a year down the road and I have a reasonable number of posters and I wish to change/upgrade to vBulletin. Would it be possible to preserve all the user accounts, threads and posts or would it be like starting from scratch??

Thanks

Migration tools between phpBB and vBulletin exist - so I don't think you would need to worry.

With your paid license to VB, you cna get IMPEX, a tool wchich will easily migrate from a number of other boards, not only PHPBB. Only advice if you are migrating? Test before you import. It can be a little bit tricky first time.

Great stuff!! Thanks alot guys! Something to remember for the future!
