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!

why I asked was, I recently created a new forum on phpbb3 forum for freelancers

I don't want to risk money for vbulletin as I dont know if this forum will work.. my first forum BTW

so if it works, i will upgrade it

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