Well what can i say i tryed vbulletin out thought it was ok so i kept it the forum is going nicely but i hate it now the admin panel is annoying me phpbb3 is so simple i miss it :-(

is there any easy way of converting?


thanks
 
I think you're out of luck. Assuming you want to convert vista-forum.org to phpBB3 I'd do it now with only 9 members and so few posts. That way you don't lose a ton of information.
 
I stand corrected. Looks really complicated though. I'd just start a new phpBB3 installation and delete VBulletin.
 
just convert vbulletin to phpbb2 ten upgrade from phpbb2 to phpbb3, its quite an easy process, i did it before -😉-

The best way to do it would be to pay for the software! It is obvious that you are running a nulled version of vB. Jelsoft will stop harassing you once you pay the fee or at least respect their copyright notice that goes in the footer.

I am not trying to be an a** h*** but some one that pays $180 dollars for a piece of software doesn't get tired of it that fast.

If I am wrong about this then please excuse me and to make it up I will offer to buy the license from you! -D-

Other than that the best way would be to convert to phpbb2 then back to 3.

Good Luck! -😉-
 
i used vb and never got bored of it but alot of people using phpbb will never go to VBulletin which is a shame

-lol- -lol- my theory is ' why pay if you can get it for free '

and the header got changed when i changed the theme so dont get all ' ooo you hate jelsoft bla bla '
 
But IPB --> phpBB3. ~wink~

Anyway, I believe there are converters on phpBB.com, as the others have stated. If that fails, phpbbinstallers.net may be able to convert it.
 
The vBulletin Admin panel looks like a pain because it contains about 100 times as many options as phpBB. Meaning you have more control over the forum.

Another flaw with the vBulletin Admin panel is the fact that you have to click a tiny little square icon to access the options inside. With phpBB you've got those lovely tabs at the top and clickable rows for the Sub-items, so there's no time wasted moving your mouse over a 15x15 px square ~smile~
 
I'll gladly give up half a second of movement for a more powerful administration system. 🙂
