I've decided to go with vBulletin for the upcoming d-m.com overhaul, but that's not going to take place until I find a way to import the current database over. I don't want to lose the 90k msgs and userbase we've accumulated the past couple of years so just try to be patient in the meantime [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

DJ, I've been running Vbulletin for a few years now and use it over at MavsForum.com. Let me know if I can be of any help.

Well, MySQL is what VB uses as well so its gotta be possible. I personally don't get into creating scripts like that, but there is a terrific message forum at vbulletin.com where you can ask about creating a script to accomplish this. I don't think there is an "out of the box" import script for FuseTalk, but some enterprising young programmer might be able to do it.

The key is just that you have MySQL and PHP on your webserver.

I just hope I can find someone who can get everything imported properly. My budget is pretty limited at this time (at first I was considering just paying someone to handle the redesign and scripting since I don't have much time to do any of it myself, but the estimates I got were pretty high up there) so hopefully I can find someone willing to do the conversion cheaply, and then crack open the ol photoshop books and try to do the design myself.

aexchange, I might take you up on that offer. I have a design in mind and will be playing around with some templates to see how they work once we get the board installed. It won't be released until it's 100% ready but hopefully that'll happen before the season starts.

My friend is looking into the db conversion this weekend.

Allow Doc and me to beta-test it for ya. We'll put it through its paces.

lol... I think we should just buy Doc a 12 pack, and all pick a time to be there. If it's gonna hold up -- it'll have to withstand that!

I could write a script to import all the users and their
status (mods, signatures, etc) to vBulletin, but importing
threads and posts would be a real time consumer.
If it's not critical to keep older posts/threads, I can start
on this script next week.
