I'm about to purchase vBulletin :rolleyes: and I want upload all of my posts and users onto the new site. I've read about vBulletin's import feature but am not completely sure on how it works. Do I need to make a full database backup and then upload the whole database? Any suggestions?

I think I've pretty much resolved this. I found the vBulletin page that describes how to import a forum. Has anybody done this before? How did it go?
