Hello,
I am a new vBulletin convert from IntegraMOD, a pre-packaged variant of phpBB. I used ImpEx to import my database with reasonable success. There were a few failures and broken elements, but with additional effort I was pleased enough with the outcome that the port is viable.
After working through the initial import with a slightly outdated version of the source database, I started tweaking VB with various mods and styles. I must confess that I jumped ahead without resolving all of the import issues first, as I was too excited to hold back from trying out features and such. At this point, I am getting close to being ready for the live switchover. However, since there were some database import failures and the data is now old, I now wish to re-import from scratch while still maintaining all of the mod/style settings I have toiled away on. I want to have all record id settings reset as well. In other words, I want member and post numbers starting from 1, not the last record plus 1. How can I best accomplish this? I would hate to abandon my custom modifications.
I am elated with my decision to port to vBulletin. The product is solid, modification is sinfully easy and the support/community base is fantastic!
