I had a really old vB 2 installation on another site I maintain which I neglected to upgrade. The forum has been active - and has now been hacked (well, cracked). The hackers have locked out the real admins and seem to have set up their own administration via a back door. Anyway, I took the whole site offline before they could do any damage and reset the mySQL password.
The license for the vBulletin installation is up-to-date, so I can upgrade to the latest vB 3. But before I do that I need to clean out the hackers' damage - so what do I need to watch out for?
I'm thinking of just exporting threads/posts/users and importing them into a fresh vB 3 installation - is that possible? What's the best way forward?
