zweeper Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Hey, is there a free converter available to convert from VB5 to Invision? And if yes, what does it convert? Also Blogs and Articles out of the CMS? Â Greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatsu Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Yes there is. https://invisioncommunity.com/services/migrate/ when you scroll down to Platforms you can click on vB5. They do import Blogs/CMS on vB4 though. So maybe it's possible with vB5, too. When you buy a license you have access to the converter.

jesuralem Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Hi there, I did convert a couple of years back and I have the converter worked very well and the team solved the few issues very quickly. I only converted forums though so I can't answer on the cms articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the converter will import the blogs and cms from vb4 it might do the same with vb5. WHile you are here, the least that you can do imo, is to to get a confirmation on it from the Ipb staff before you decide to convert to other software. Ipbs is the best and worth the while to wait a day or 2 imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zweeper Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 yes, thanks, I will wait. Since trying it after buying it would be dissapointing if it wont work. Miss_B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zweeper Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 I converted from VB 4 at the end (another forum). That worked quite good, yes! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcade King Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I did it recently and the process was smooth however I did need some tech support for a few issues with links which was sorted promptly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaDiGi Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 As there is an open topic on this matter, I add my message here: Is it possible now to convert a VB5 forum into IPS and then merge it with an existing IPS forum, last version? I would like to do it on my own rather than hire IPS staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
