Description: This script converts the database of vBulletin forums (from and to) any of the charsets that are supported by iconv. also it has the ability to convert the tables of the hacks you had installed them.

As Is"
without warranties, Test it using a copy of your vBulletin database not using your live vBulletin, Since this is a
BETA PRODUCT use it for testing only.
Why this product?
My Forums charset is windows-1256, so I can't get advantages of AJAX functions like the quick reply and the quick edit without some encoding problems.
I decided to convert my charset and build this script. and I'll convert to utf-8.
This product was tested on a copy of real live vBulletin and it seems to be good.

The iconv PHP module is not presented, please contact your system administrator to enable/install it.
this means you need to install iconv. - You will see a drop-down menu. select the table you want to convert and the number of items to convert per cycle (default 1000) and press submit.
