As I said above and not surprisingly VB doesnt support importing from 3 or 4 year old forums into VB -

first thing I have to do is try to get the ubb current - then attempt to import - I wasnt asking for bootleg copy I was asking for supported method to accomplish the task. Many packages have time bombed demos or demos that are crippled somehow - or try before you buy - I was just hoping.

VB devs dont do custom development for cash.

My $0.02
The general tone of the replies here would make it unlikely I would choose this product if I were in the market

It's not the tone, we'd love to help; it's the fact that we won't violate our licenses to anyone as we'd be out several hundred dollars for our licenses to help you make yours current to migrate elsewhere...

Ford's not going to give you a crankshaft for your old mustang so you can trade it in for a Chevy, they'll sell you one tho.

Older vb scripts import older forum scripts. If they want you to buy their software they'd make available older scripts for you to use. Otherwise, open a support ticket here for Rick to take a look at, no-one here can assist you otherwise (as gizzy states above). And many people on the vb site do custom work for cash.

A path you could follow:

Renew your ubb license. This will get you member area access for $99. You do not to buy a new full license.
Upgrade to latest classic
If vbulletin can import that, you are set.

So that means that a version of Classic is still available ?

I need to get to 6.3 to do the import - I sent an email to sales@groupee.com as was suggested and that address is invalid - also sent email using the contact form - no replies

The latest version of UBB.Classic and UBB.Threads6 are in the member area for the purpose of migrating to UBB.Threads7.

The sales desk should also be able to be contacted at the "Support Options" link to the left.
