Hello Ien ,
vBSEO can provide 301 redirects from your old links to your new links. However within Impex process the thread and forum url's may differ.

Thanks, I seem to remember vBulletin saying something about Impex, which I did download. DOes this process only work if you install vBSEO or is it something that can be done w/o vBSEO?
ALso, does this mean the old data/links must be saved indefinitely?
impex is a vB product and really has nothing to do with vbseo.
The main problem is going from ubb to vb, that the urls are very different.
more so, the ID's will change. (unless you NEVER deleted anything... no posts, no members, nothing, as the new import will change via autoincrememnt. )
