Me and my website team members are thinking about moving from the vBulletin Publishing Suite (4.1.4) to Invision. I noticed that on the conversion site vBulletin 4.0 is mentioned. Does this convertor also support the 4.1 forum?

Besides the messageboard we are using Photopost 7.03. One of the main reasons to switch to Invision is the build in support for a gallery (yes, as a separate module). But the same conversion site mentions that conversion from Photopost 6.2 is supported.

I guess (hope?) that this information is outdated and that this script can convert (import) my Photopost 7.03 galleries? Version 7.0 has been released in december 2009?

Does this conversion tool duplicate all galleries (meaning that during this proces the required space is doubled)? And how server intensive is this proces? I'm hosted on a semi-dedicated plan (sharing a server with 15 websites) and wonder if this conversion of a 10Gb gallery will cause problems.

If a version is not supported, quite often IPS will release an update if they can. Or you can always pay IPS to convert for you.

I would fire an email to conversions@invisionpower.com and ask.  I think that email is valid, if not try sales@

I have contacted support and Ryan updated the conversion script. Since the conversion of vbulletin to IPB isn't going that smoothly, I can't really say if the updated photopost 7.03 conversionscript works as it should (yet).

As soon as the conversion is done, I will post my results here.

Could a IPS representative please explain if the converter supports Photopost 7 and 8?

Photopost 8 Gold has been released last month, and is now the latest stable version.
