Upgrading from phpBB to vBulletin

[MeetHere]

how easy is to upgrade phpbb to vb ?

It's not really that hard. vBulletin's Impex system is quite good at importing phpBB forums.

Pretty easy. I've done a few, including a couple with over a million posts. Sometimes there's coversion issues with something in the database but doesn't take much to fix.

Yes I have also done it, you may face some setting problem which are of course not difficult.

G!

Impex is perfect it imports users/groups/posts/forums everything for you, i've used it in the past. Top notch vBulletin script

He's right, just click of the button with Impex and you are set!
