I want to go ahead and purchase vbulletin, but currently use phpbb. Can somebody please direct me to the place where it gives step by step instructions on how to change over without losing any posts or members or anything from my phpbb forum?

well im talking about before I get to that point. Do i do anything with phpbb first? do I upload vbulletin to my server first? The reason I ask is the vbulletin looks like vbulletin uses some of the same names for file directories and I dont want it to overwrite.

Sorry I have done all of those steps and still cannot post, and am impatient and want to get my forum switched asap.
I have a few questions in the mean time:
my phpbb forum is uploaded in /forum directory should I go ahead and install the vbulletin in the same folder phpbb is loaded in? or do I install the imprex in this folder or what do I do first?
