In the process of planning to Move from phpBB

This is the old site --
http://www.mp2kmag.com/mappoint/discussion

I registered a new domain for the new forums --
http://www.mapforums.com

Not implemented yet.

Just asking, besides the basic migration and throwing a logo up there, what would you recommend to me?

i.e. settings, mods, etc. I'm very new at vBulletin and can't wait to get out of phpBB!

Thanks all and any for your advice.
Eric

Well, I would suggest vBadvanced.com's CMPS for starters.

Cool thanks. how is the value compared to vbseo ? I might have to budget a little bit, my wife still didn't notice that I put $160 on our business credit card :-) but I don't mind spending money if it will be of value.

What do you know about vbGallery?

I got interested in maps and made a GPS Map Locations (http://www.usagpsmap.com/) website using google maps api.

CMPS is not comparable to VBSEO in what they do. CMPS gives you a nice home page based off forum content.

VBSEO is for changing URLs.

Hi Eric, welcome to the world of vBulletin.

I am also a phpBB refugee and am I ever glad I made the move!
A few add-on suggestions would be:

vBAdvanced CMPS for your forums' homepage
VbPicGallery, if you want a picture gallery
If you want to make your forum look more personal, there are several free styles/skins here to choose from, header can be customized. There are also several sites that you can purchase a style from.You definitely chose the right place to come to, to learn about vBulletin. Whatever questions you may have, ask away. We're here to help :D

Thanks all! Anyone else have some suggestions?
