VBulletin 4.0.7 to SMF RC3

[PraveerD]

Hello all,
            I am currently using vBulletin 4.0.7 and want to convert to SMF RC3. I could not find any converter for my needs. Please help me convert. I am really tired of vb and so want to return back to smf which I have used before.

Regards
Praveer

Hello, thanks for your reply. I have no attachments on my forum. I just have posts with links in them. Will the links in posts be lost?

Regards

I really dont understand it can you provide me a demo ?

you mean : mysite.com/zip.zip ? (direct download)

[PraveerD]

What I mean is that in threads on my forum there are links redirecting to various sites. So what I want to know that is that will links be lost or not?

Done the convert but its showing attachment unsuccessful. I know thats a bug. But now how do I make the converter proceed further. It keeps showing attachment unsuccessful message.

Find and delete it

I want to do the samething.  Made the mistake of going with VBulletin 4.0 and now I'm up to 4.0.7 and still dissatisfied.  I want to go back to smf.

When I do the conversion as instructed I get a successful conversion, but the users must reset their passwords.  Is there anyway around this?

Sometimes twice logging in fixes, but mostly need to reset their passwords

Sorry for asking this question so late. But now as my forum is converted from vbulletin to smf, do I now delete the database of vbulletin? I know its a noobs question but I dont want to take any risks.

take back-up and delete whole files / tables related to vBulletin
