After reading the You must login or register to view this content. I noticed that they had problems converting. I have experienced this aswell so I am going to give a quick tutorial how to do this so I HIGHLY recommend a member of staff reads this and passes it on to the big boys

Tutorial before Upgrade
1. Uninstall ALL products and plugins
Why do you think there is versions specially for vBulletin 4? After upgrading you must search for vbShout, iTrader, Post thank hack etc again. If you have a legit license you will more than likely get an easy download link for it, however I use You must login or register to view this content. that has alot of useful hacks for vBulletins (link is sometimes up, sometimes down)
2. Reset ALL counts
As weird as it seems, it worked for me when I was upgrading. When I didn't I got some screwed up threaddisplay.php errors.

Tutorial DURING Upgrade
1. Make sure you use install/upgrade.php (obviously as install.php will not work)

Tutorial AFTER upgrade[/u]
1. Immediately and swiftly look for updated plugins and modifications with your legit license.
2. [read] If you want your NGU Skin to be converted to vBulletin 4, I will be happy to do so. (Admin contact me about that)
3. Once again reset counts, this will just make 100% sure that the problem is no longer there.

And if anything screws up, just re-extract your 3.8.6 and SQL your database back in using PhpMyAdmin.

If NGU is a place to say "O hai, I have 100,000 members all with 0 posts! :carling: " That's a bit pointless, don't you think? :confused:

The people will 0 posts will just have to re-register..

Yea i guess what ace said they would have to transfer, i think the main problem is for them is that the site is just so huge thats its really hard to convert to vb4. My opinion just stay on this version.

What's so amazing about VB4?

yea all the leechers and would make the site less laggy.

vb4 has up-to-date new mods and support is for vb4 now, vBulletin 3.8.6 is pretty much dead.

opinion.. not onion.. lol..
