Upgrading from UBB.threads 6.5.5, UBB.classic 6.7.3, or other products

Introduction

We currently offer import/upgrade scripts in our Members Area for the following forum software:
  • UBB.threads 6.5.5
  • UBB.classic 6.7.3

  • phpBB 2
  • SMF 1.1
  • vBulletin 3.8

We take the time to make sure all of our import scripts import as much data as possible including things like polls, private messages, and a variety of data. We also include redirect scripts with each importer that will redirect users to the new imported posts allowing for a seamless migration without losing Search Engine Ranking.
