Yup - When you buy your vBulletin, also download whats called IMPEX -- (its available in the vB download area) IMPEX is the converter script. It will convert your SMF forum database to vBulletin. I think SMF converts fully - meaning you wont lose posts or members or passwords or anything. Your members will log into your new vBulletin forum just as they woud your SMF forum. sharif_aly 12-31-2006, 05:41 PM Joeychgo, Thanks Revo1 02-12-2007, 11:21 AM After downloading IMPEX and trying to convert my SMF board for some odd reason it updates the vB forum saying it has the amount of members as my SMF board and that it has as many threads as my SMF board, but none of the members or threads or forums display. Is this a glitch in the IMPEX software with SMF or is it because I'm using the latest version of SMF - 1.1? Revo1 02-12-2007, 11:23 AM My apologies.
