vBulletin 4 Importer

Just as a wild guess, make sure that both the tables and the text fields within them are also UTF-8. All of those should be in agreement or you might have issues.

No, that is ok as well

Does anyone have feedback on how long this importer takes to run?

I am starting to convert a backup of the live database containing about 925K threads, 6.9M posts, 165K members and Import Users is running at about 1.5% per minute! Yikes!

Want to get a feel of how lengthy the conversion process is as we are evaluating moving to XenForo.

If it helps...

To import 240k threads with 2.25m posts it took: 7 hours 2 minutes 7.33 seconds

To import 68,291 users, 36 minutes

There's obviously attachments etc... but hopefully that will give you some idea

Dave.

Here are my times so far ...

165K members - 1 hr 10 mins

It is now crunching away at the threads/posts and after 1.5 hrs, its at 4% ... so I should be done in another 36 hours!!!!!

FYI : There is a new vBulletin 4 importer.

vBulletin 4 Importer To XenForo 1.1

- also supports Thank Yous and Custom Profile Fields

Mine isn't importing all of the posts?

Do you have a 1.0.x installation of XenForo? This Importer supports only 1.0.x

If you are running XenForo 1.1, you need to use the below importer.

Thats the one I am using. 1.1.o and the importer for it, but it is based off of, 1.0. So I figured I might be able to get help in here, since the other doesnt have any replies.

Then you should post and wait for reply there, because this is two different importers. Posting on this thread wont speed up your answer.

Well I sure wish they were as quick to respond as you...
