Forum software - migrating

[DSWS]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to migrate a file based YaBB forum to a mysql based vBulletin forum without losing member info or posts?

Thanks

Rob

I don't recall if vBulletin has a YaBB importer - if it does, then this is easy to do.

Here is a quote from the members area of Vb on the importers:



We currently offer a set of scripts that will allow you to import posts, threads and users from the following programs: Infopop Ultimate Bulletin Board 5, Infopop Ultimate Bulletin Board 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2, Infopop UBBThreads 5.4 (formerly wwwthreads), vBulletin Lite, Infopop OpenTopic/UBB.x, Ikonboard 2, Ikonboard 3, phpBB2, DC Forum, XMB, and ezboard (posts only, not members for ezboard).

There was a thread on vBulletin.org which provided a tool to migrate YaBB to vBulletin.
