I would like to merge our vbulletin 4.0.3 to Mybb
I've read some member successfully used the 3.8 merge option as there is no 4.0 option yet. Can you please confirm?

Yeah, Dylan is working on a merge for 4.0 dont know if its done yet. http://community.mybb.com/thread-77851.html
Thanks...so we have some forums that are private to certain usergroups...are the permissions transferred in the merge or will all of the forums be set to default permissions for all?
Could not find this in a quick search.
Not sure, I dont know much on the merge system, Wait for Dylan to reply.
There's no vB4 converter
yet.
As you mentioned there have been people that have had success using the 3.8 converter and since the merge system doesn't alter your original database in any way there's no harm in trying.
The 3.8 converters will work for most vBulletin 4 forums because simply put, the database architecture on vBulletin 4 didn't really change ([sarcasm]isn't that amazing?[/sarcasm]).
But yes, Dylan is working on an official vBulletin 4 converter, if you wanted to wait for that.
@OP: Just use the current merge system. I upgraded from vB4.06 on Sunday and it worked perfectly. The only thing not imported is custom fields - all user, posts, threads and PMs are copied across perfectly.

this is my reply
The permissions should be transferred.
Yeah, the permissions are transfered near perfectly. The only thing that didn't quite work perfectly for me was that my previously invisible staff forum and VIP forum was now visible. Of course, I had my board closed for the upgrade, so I checked them before re-opening and all was good
