Hello Smile,
Well, I Have a vBulletin power board, But i have alot of problems with it :\
My community has alot of members, And posts, And i dont want to start again from the begining..
There is anyway that i can convert the database of vBulletin to MyBB? I Have ImpEx, But im not sure its converting from vBulletin to MyBB :\
Any help will be great Smile

I don't think vB people would make an export from vB to MyBB in the ImpEx utility. I'd suggest you try converting to phpBB first, then to MyBB (remember to backup your database before you start converting).

If there's no ImpEx tool to go from vB to MyBB, then convert it to phpBB first using ImpEx or phpBB's convert tool, and then use the phpBB->MyBB tool that you can find on this forum.

Dude, You rock Smile

--Edit: Where is the link of PHPBB to MyBB convert? I Cant find it :\--
--Edit2: Sh*t, ImpEx is only converting X from to vBulletin and not vBulletin to X forum Sad, There is any other way to do it?--

I think the only vB converter to phpBB is vB2.x so you can see if ImpEx can make a vB2 database.
Then use the vB2 database and use the vB2-->phpBB converter in the page above, to get a phpBB database.
Then use this phpBB-->MyBB converter: http://community.mybboard.net/showthread.php?tid=4245 (I think Chris posted an update to it somewhere down the thread).

Make sure you make backups at each stage of the conversion.
If you can wait a while ... I currently work on an vb3.5 to mybb convertor.
