Casper Posted September 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Fonz let me know if you want to talk, i've done phpbb to vB migrations before.It's a free hosted one. I don't think they let you do sql dumps. Ohio Riders started out on phpBB. I migrated to vBulletin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonzie Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Ohio Riders started out on phpBB. I migrated to vBulletin.I'd heard that before. So did you lose all your content that was "pre" vBulletin, or were you somehow able to save it like Matt's talkin'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 (edited) I'd heard that before. So did you lose all your content that was "pre" vBulletin, or were you somehow able to save it like Matt's talkin'?First of all, Ben fix the mobile and iPhone skins please! When you go into the postbit it's in html for some reason!Ahhh, you are correct on the database dump, can't do it yourself, but it looks like FreeForums will do it for you for $30http://kb.freeforums.org/questions/22/I+need+a+Database+Backup+to+move+my+ForumAlso Fonz, Phpbb and invision are free, but vB is a pay per use license and they DO go after ANY WEBSITE that uses the software without license.

If they'll do a backup for you like the link he posted, we can import you into a hosted copy of phpBB in minutes, or migrate you to vBulletin no problem.

I tried that new Ohio-Riders.com on my blackberry yesterday for shits & giggles, and the load time was WAAAAY slower for some reason, than when I just normally go to ohioriders.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
