Here is the thread that will give you the information about importing from other products into vBulletin.

Hopefully your forum software is also included, if not, request it in that thread, or contact [email protected] and inform about possible releases (in the near future).

MySQL is very scalable in regards to the attachments in database and can quite easily cope with databases in the GB range.
It would be possible to adjust vBulletin to use the SHA1 algorithm for password verfication, but you would have to change a few files.
There is no importer as of yet, mainly as most servers which have MSSQL support ASP and not PHP. Though a new line of importers are due for vB3.

This code is SHA256 ,can I use same password in VB ?

Because I have many users,I cannot say every user,please register again...

Thanks

vBulletin uses MD5. So guess not.

They don't have to register again,
let the pass be 'false' and give them a link to 'reset password'.

vBulletin comes with a Lost Password feature which will reset the pass for them, they then receive through email how to update or retreive a new password.

For those of you trying to convert from Snitz and more specifically Max Web Portal... I finally accomplished this by converting to phpBB first, with the Snitz Migrator, then using the phpBB to vBulletin convertor.

It was a pain in the butt to do, but I only plan on doing it once

The Snitz Migrator for phpBB is really persnickety and a pain to get running. I had to do some PHP work to get it to work with the particular Snitz setup, but I finally beat it into submission.

It's not for the neophyte PHP user... you must have a fairly good grounding in PHP to understand what the Snitz migrator is doing (or not doing) and be able to debug it. It took me most of a day to finally get it to convert the 78,000 messages off the Snitz and into phpBB. My bat has a few dents in it now, from beating it into submission.

I am also trying to migrate from Snitz 3.4.03 to vbulletin. If there is an importer available, I would adopt vbulletin immediately.

Nine years later I'm in the same position. Nothing wrong with their forums but they appear to eat resources & my ISP has finally banned mine!
It must be profitable for VBulletin to write a converter since I know many Snitz users are in the same situation - I would be happy to pay for conversion! (Well OK, not happy, but willing anyway).

Ah, I'm learning & have just found "Tier Systems List", so ignore me, I'll try to find out more...

That's true it is easily support vbulletin.
