hello comunity, i neew to know something, i saw a community with a vbulletin template but it was Mybb. i talk with the admin and he told me that it was a converter from some bulletins to myBB. can anyone tell me how does it works that and if i can doit on my forum?
Hi, to convert to MyBB from vBulletin, you want to use the Merge system - http://www.mybboard.net/downloads/merge-system

What you saw on that community was probably nothing more than a look-alike skin.
I know there is a VB looking skin i can find it and post it. Is this what you where looking for?

The link to convertor was posted by Zash above, but here you go anyway:

The convertor works only on the forum, i.e. it converts posts, members, topics, permissions etc etc but not themes or plugins.
okey, that was my doubt, so to "clone" vbulletin themes, i have to make them from the begining, from 0

I don''t know why you would want to clone the vb theme as Mybb has got its own original look, but you creating themes for mybb is very easy and you can theme your forum as you wish.
He's talking about a theme he saw that was on MyBB but looked like a vB skin I believe.

It was probably a Afresh skin with a modified look-alike vB header. The "convert thing" for themes doesn't exist. The theme he had was probably edited to what it was.

You can transfer your vB posts to MyBB and than you can make or higher a designer to make a look-alike vB skin.
Okey, maybe a get vb theme and i take images and look the way yo make that theme for MyBB.
