Donations for Shawns coffee pot...

Hmm, I don't suppose you'd (Shawn) offer a free, completed VB to XF converter if people pitched in to a "community pot" of sorts, would you? :P

I got it as far as doing everything except attachments, which, was very difficult.

However, if you purchase DP's importer, I can send you my work afterwards. Incidentally, the current web-based importers are probably a safer bet for anyone who doesnt have a large board (probably 500k+posts or more)
 
I think that one is way to embedded into unrelated parts of the site.

It's using the Twitter API to pull feed from some private Twitter lists I manage under my digitalpoint Twitter account. One adds/deleted members to a "premium member" list based on if they are a premium member and they linked their Twitter account to their Digital Point account (the tweets are usually tweets from premium members). It also has to manage premium membership upgrades/downgrades and add/remove them accordingly. It's also what manages the "Tweets From The Industry" feed here: https://www.digitalpoint.com

In addition, certain forum sections instead use yet other private Twitter lists we manage. For example in the Google forum, you get tweets from official Google Twitter accounts: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/forums/google.5/

So it has dependencies on my Third Party Accounts addon, the system used for the portal, needs a custom Twitter API library I wrote (the Zend Twitter Service uses the old Twitter API that is being turned off in about 2 weeks).

Hey Shawn I've read that you have a vBulletin 5 forum now? May I see?

I read about it here: http://www.forumbiodiversity.com/sh...r-vBulletin!?p=1098108&viewfull=1#post1098108

Dude has no idea what he's talking about... I have no installation of vB5 anywhere (I don't own a license either). He probably just thought our migration to XenForo was a migration to vBulletin 5. lol

Kind of funny though that in a thread where people are asking if they should move from vBulletin 4 to XenForo, the guy says he thinks vBulletin 5 is pretty good because we are using it (but we are using XenForo). hah

lol I just asked him to show me your vB5 demo. I guess that answers the question. I was wondering why you would post graphs at just how much vB5 slows down server then turn around and put it on your own server.

It looks nothing like vB5. It's like comparing a My12 Maserati Quattroporte to a 1977 AMC Gremlin (and believe me vB5 has a lot of gremlins).
 
Also, for those wanting to get a SSL certificate, StartSSL is pretty reasonable...

$59.90 to get class 2 identity verified, and $59.90 to get a class 2 organization verified... at which point they will issue you a sub-domain wildcard+multi-domain certificate good for 2 years.

For example, our single SSL cert works for *digitalpoint.com, *dpstatic.com and *digitalpointads.com (but you can have even more domains than that too).

To give an example, normally just a sub-domain wildcard certificate for a SINGLE domain runs over $1,000 for 2 years...

How did you find out about this StartSSL company? Is it a reputable firm with a long history?
How much and which type of product did you purchase for all of your site?
 
I did the personal verification for $59.90, and then the organization verification for another $59.90 (you need the personal in order to do the verification). So the grand total cost was $119.80 for a 2 year SSL certificate that works on all sub-domains as well as multiple primary domains.

I didn't research them, but their root certificate is accepted by every browser used, which is all I really cared about.
