I have coppermine running on animegalleries.net, and talking to invisionboard 1.3, with  over ten thousand members. I am switching to vbulletin due to a few dozen attacks on my site, exploiting buffer overflow bugs in invision. So it's basicaly imperative that I switch by this point.

Converting the forum is simple enough. However what tables to i need to modify to make sure no one looses their personal gallery? I figured I should be able to just write a script to change old user numbers to new ones, but other then the image owner, I am not sure where to look.

Help please, what needs doing?

If you are already bridged with Invision, then as long as your script that coverts your board to vb maintains the user id, then there should be no problems.  You will just have to edit the applicable vbulletin bridge file, and your init.inc.php files to show your new board, and all should be ok.
It has been a long time now since I did my little bit here, and have done no coding or any other such stuff since. I'm back to being a noob here

the conversion script doesn't seem to have kept id's the same.
