Hello,

I am currently using a vBulletin to manage my community forums and I wish to move my community here to IPB, However I have a concern. My current vBulletin database has an error in the styles/templates and I was wondering if I would be able to check if my database would convert properly before purchasing the software.

You guys also mentioned about converting services how much are those?

I want to use IPB however I don't want to purchase it if I can not transfer my database coreectly.

Thank You,
Eric

Skins doesn't get converted if that's what you're asking.

It will ignore your VB skin tables completely I'd expect so it should not matter if there are errors in them (or even if they are missing)

I've already tried converting with the 5day trial, however i was unsucessful. Any ideas why?

Hello, you can't run a conversion with the trial site...I'm not sure of the issue you ran into, but that's most likely the cause.
