Should I setup Vbulletin before import??

[cobraclub]

I am just in the process of setting up Vbulletin and doing some hack to it, ie VBindex and a couple of others.

I will be importing my existing forums based on DCForum+ when the importer is released, however the question is should I do all the set-up for VBIndex and Links etc before or after the import??

Will the importer have an effect???

Thanks

I recommend completing the installation and import prior to installing any hacks. Once you install hacks to your forums you won't be eligible for official support.

Thanks, thought that might be the case.

I recommend never installing any hacks.

I recommend never installing any hacks.

somthing could go wrong and you cant get any support from vbulletin on the problem

Steve does that apply to just adding a skin?

I am not Steve, but no... Skins are not hacks. Hacks are anything the modifies the PHP Code. There is no need to modify PHP Code to install a skin.
