This is unfortunately very bad news Where is the right place for starting a thread about accomplishing this - I wrote a plugin for vbulletin doing this and like to share it so the project "Internal links" has something to start.Post content is not changed during an import.

Remember, a redirection script will have the same effect.
I did not test the importer as I did not buy xenforo yet. I just assumed the worst - and I got right. I understand how the importers - all currently available ones from all manufacturers - work. It would be just much more useful if there would be an importer from xenforo for other forum software with the option, that when you import to a complete empty xenforo community, that in this case all deleted import-IDs are created and then deleted for xenforo. Example: First vbulletin showthread IDs are 3, 6.
I don't understand where the big downside of this is. In this case another table for oldids/newids is not needed. Also redirects are very easy as the IDs will be the same. Yes, it is different from what the vbulletin importer does. But the xenforo vbulletin importer should be different. And this would be a huge improvement.
- The importer checks for ID 1: Not available. Create ID. Delete ID 1
- The importer checks for ID 2: Not available. Create ID. Delete ID 2
- The importer checks for ID 3: Import this ID. This will be ID 3
- The importer checks for ID 4: Not available. Create ID. Delete ID 4
- The importer checks for ID 5: Not available. Create ID. Delete ID 5
- The importer checks for ID 6: Import this ID. This will be ID 6
Wait a minute - the XenForo thread ID's don't match up with vBulletin's after an import? How does the redirection work, then?
It would be only fair that xenforo states that it imports the data, but the whole ID structure is completely different.Wait a minute - the XenForo thread ID's don't match up with vBulletin's after an import? How does the redirection work, then?
