Apparently it is possible to migrate an existing phpBB 3.0.1 forum to a Xenforo using the importer that comes with the regular Xenforo installation. However, I can't find a "How well it works" reference anywhere. So, can anybody tell me (from experiences) how well that importer works? Will users...

Before going much futher with with this, I've used custom fields in vB to store authorization codes for my software which allows users to look up their code. When importing vB into XF, those fields were populated. They are not currently showing on the Profile Page of the users and I think that...

Hi, I just installed XenForo on my site and I'd like to import current clients from another product to this forum. I've searched here in the forums on how to do it, but the only thing I've found is an unmaintained plugin which seems to not work with 1.5. So... is there an easy way to do it...

Hi, I did a test run of small forum migration from vb 3.8 to xenforo and photopost 8.5 (107k pics, over 4500 categories) and database size went from 90MB (for vb) and 40MB (for photopost) to 2350MB. I read some threads about size increasing due to search index... but with just 18000 posts...

Just a thought: With Retina and double to triple pixel density devices becoming more and more common (not only phones and tablets but also with laptops and desktops), picture upload should automatically process the resolution ratio into the uploaded picture file attachment or otherwise end up...

EDITED FOR CLARIFICATION I did some search here in the forum and did only find unmaintained third party importers for Excel CSV. And no other workaround. In my opinion an importer for Members via Excel CSV(or numbers or opendoc) should be CORE. Why? It is a helper for admins that use XF for...

In vBulletin 4.2.3, there is a (pretty sad) stock groups function, and one of its features is a group gallery where members of the group can upload image attachments to a common gallery. As far as I can tell these are stored in vB as standard attachments. Are these attachments imported by the...

Hallo, we are getting ready to move from vB to XF. We imported our data from vBulletin in, done our tweaks on languages phrases, style and so on. Now it's time to reimport our data, since new posts and threads have been opened. Since we have ~100GB of Attachment on vB, it took us during the...

I'm the owner of a large internet community, currently running on a phpbb 3.0.x forum. We were going to upgrade to phpbb3.1, but as this a large project I decided to check out other forum scripts. Xenforo and IPB are the main contenders. The current database is quite large, around 4GB. I have...

Is there a way to import orphaned attachments from vBulletin 4? We have images that are included using the URL of the attached image in posts other than the one they were originally uploaded to. vBulletin doesn't care that these were deleted from the original post, but they're lost on import...

Hello guys. I had been wanting to migrate my Club Oracle Forums to xenForo ever since the Resource Manager was released but due to all the xenforo client work I was doing, I never had the time to get to it. Finally after almost two weeks of preparation and some very useful help from @0ptima I...

Hi, I'm doing some test imports for my future xen site and I keep running into issues. My current issue is: I'm doing the Configure User Import step, I have the merge same email box check (don't matter if check or not) and I get this: (** to hide my DB/folder names) Mysqli prepare error...
