PhotoPost Community - View Single Post - Switching from UBB to vB including PhotoPost & ReviewPost

I'm in the process of converting a UBB forums setup to vBulletin. In the old setup both PhotoPost & ReviewPost were setup with the UBB install. I have already converted the UBB forums over to vB using the Jellsoft Impex importer.

Now I'm working on integrating PhotoPost & ReviewPost w/ vBulletin while managing to keep all existing content the same.

Has anyone done this and can offer advice?

The main hangup in my mind right now is that the user IDs will not match. The Impex took care of converting all old UBB userIDs to the new vB userIDs in posts and what not. Will I need to custom script something that will change userIDs for Reviews and Photos in the old system to the new one? I think I'm quite capable of doing this, just wondering if anyone has some advice before I start hacking.

Thanks!
