Rick has stated that work on the importers will occour after 7.3 is out the door (as it'd be redundant to work on them when such a large task is at hand); I believe that SD had something working for 7.2 but ceased work on it till 7.3 was out so it would import to the latest version...

the vbulletin one works for 7.2.2 on my test system, however we just need some to step up and volunteer to do some testing with it. I can't stick it in the members area without testing by a few users. So, if you're interested in doing a test with it, you can send me a PM.
Thanks for the update, Rick. We're still not in a great or even good situation to do tests but hopefully someone with more know how and "testing" capabilities can give it a try.
My biggest issue was trying to find out how to run impex to first import a threads forum into vb, but I don't think I have to do that now. I've got clients running vb, I'll see what I can get done by this weekend.

Unfortunately we had to put this on hold until 7.3 is finished. d-talk has a good test bed for me, just need to get 7.3 done before we spend more time on the importer.
I've finally got a couple sites to work with as well - my hold-up was getting a site to import from, I just hadn't figured out vb's impex and didn't have the time to learn. But I've got at least one to import from now and maybe 2-3.
