Title: For those thinking about converting from SMF 2.0 to VBulletin 4.17...
Post by: allthumbz on October 22, 2011, 04:15:00 AM
I recently converted my site from SMF 2.0 to VBulletin 4.17, and, before anyone else does this, BE FOREWARNED!!

Their IMPEX SOFTWARE will NOT convert any attachments from SMF 2.0 to VBulletin 4.17!
I have to convert all attachments to posts, photos, files, albums, and downloads manually.
The Impex software has bugs that prevent it from working. In my opinion, it is a real piece of crap.
It does a HORRIBLE job of importing the rest of the SMF site, and won't import attachments AT ALL.

VBulletin says "they are working on it," but this has been a known bug for a while now with NO solution.
You guys ought to know this BEFORE you plunk down $285 to switch over!
