vBulletin 4.2.0 database

[Valorous]

Hi all,

I have a database from vBulletin 4 forum. Can I convert it somehow to freshly installed SMF?

Regards
Val

I have the same problem

[matrix.1372]

After migrating VBulletin 4.2 to SMF 2.0.4, the text of all posts will broken. My forum is in Persian language.

Example:
main text (in old forum (vb)):
اگه کسی نیست پروژه رو ببندیم؟
converted text (in smf):
اگه کسی نیست پروژه رو ببندیÙ...ØŸ

I think this is a charset problem, but in settings set to UTF-8 and problem stay yet.
Sorry for my bad English, any Ideas?
Thanks

Hello matrix.1372 and welcome to sm.org.

Can you check from phpMyAdmin if the messages appear corrupt?

P.S.
After you answer I'll split your messages to a new topic.
