Boy our overall traffic patterns back in the day were pretty similar! I have had GA ever since I started with vb4 (and some back before it when we were on vb3 still; Looks like i had the same taper off since September of last year you've had. Pretty interesting stuff, glad to see yours...

Awesome information...thank you very much for the reply. Did you do the entire process yourself, or hire someone to help out? I remember vb2 and vb3 (very fondly). My forum has been around since 1999 in one form or another, so there is a lot of history, information, and stuff used i just want...

Well, time for another 2 year check back in :) How is XF2 doing with the add-ons and official mods? Is everyone still happy with things? Has anyone else made a vb4 transfer for a large or customized board in the last 2 years since this with some insight they can offer? With the vb4 required...

Well, 2 years later I'm back and xf2 is looking really great. How's everyone else that replied to this before, positioned now? Lack of mobile usability my vb4 site has been killing me along with fb, but so far xf2 is looking and working really cleanly for me here. I like it! Hope I can revisit...

Right, and because of vBulletin is the exact reason I'm a bit on the edge of paranoia in wanting to see where I'm going to end up, because I bought and upgraded myself right into the corner of a box with it that is going to require a custom solution to get me out of it appears, and I would...

No problem or animosity, just a spirited discussion :) The problem with custom work is 2 fold- A: It costs money, a lot over a long term. B: There is no other upgrade or migration path after you've converted, without more custom work and more of A. This is the biggest frustration. C: The...

I don't want a whole site duplication. I want a system that utilizes my existing data. I'm very open to it being used in new, different, and exciting ways, but I want a meaningful way for the last 5 years worth of content to be used. In my list there is not a single AdminCP option from...

And this isn't a knock on XF, I don't mean these things in a derogatory manner or as a hit to anyone. I was a Jelsoft customer back into the 2.x days of VB, so I have a customer history and a lot of respect for Mike, Kier, and this whole project for everything they had to go through. But when...

Brogan, I think what we're talking about here are the "other parts" of vbulletin 4. No one will say or ague that XF doesn't do a great job at importing the meat and potatoes (it does it infact very well). But the things I mentioned up above, and what Dennis seems to be concerned about also are...

I will probably be chastised but some of the membership here, but I gave up. I purchased several different modifications, and tried a lot of different things. I actually took time (3 days in a row, with a weekend) away from my day job to try and sit down and really figure some of this stuff out...

Thats my ultimate intent - yes. Made a lot of trimming and template changes on the template manager and a ton of chances for the Resource Manager to be an article system. I just need a reliable fairly simple way to display them on the "front page" now.

I'm fixing to install the free trial I think, but what sort of options are there with the shipping calculator, and what services does it use?

Heres another one I've ran across; http://prntscr.com/3lv6i6 Whtever text here I guess some kind of a guide on the custom BB code system would be helpful as I really do not understand how it works at all..the user manual only refers to media sites; http://xenforo.com/help/bb-code-media-sites/

As a fellow semi large forum owner (about 3/4 of your size) I have been doing a lot of research and reading and trying to figure out a clear upgrade path from vb4 and I have had limited success. You are lucky in the fact you did not use the CMS, so you have a whole aspect I'm having to work on...

I don't know whether this should be done with php, or it would be possible to pull part of the template from the resource manager index and massage it, but basically, the standard XenPorta "Recent News" block, I want; http://prntscr.com/3lu79h But I want this to work with featured resources...
