Is the data wrong?

I am currently running a vB 6.X forum with "Topics: 1,866,835 Posts: 25,149,918 Members: 357,116 Active Members: 4,568". At it's highest prior to these issues our traffic was at 1-1.5TB a month, back when traffic was measured that way. Our active member count is down to between a third and a...

That is good to know. No disrespect to anyone but there is a certain comfort in having the people who wrote the code handling things. If something goes sideways they know the nuts and bolts of the program. For me the issue is the added expenditure on top of the license. With that I'm up to or...

I did not have to upscale with 3.8. Upscaling became a necessity when I moved to 6.x I have no argument that current vB is unnecessarily heavy on resources I just feel that it peaked with 3.8 and miss the reliability that 3.8 had.

For my forum (Topics: 1,866,647 Posts: 25,147,360 Members: 357,024) vB 3.8 WAS flawless for just over a decade. I had to upscale to a more powerful dedicated server when I 'upgraded' to vB 6 and it's still not entirely right. I've heard for some time now that Xenforo was noticeably lighter on...

For me the interest is mainly that Xenforo seems to have better support, a more engaged user base which means a broader pool of experience and knowledge to draw from and from what I've been told is better coding. My previous hosting company was owned by a friend who hosted numerous forums. He...

I'm sure he's very good and as such i would not expect that he would offer his services for free. I'd actually have a concern that he was undervaluing himself if he did. But that my point, after spending $400 just to license the software the necessity of further expenditure to actually make use...

This is the number one reason i have not moved from vBulletin 6. to Xenforo. To move I am going to pay almost $400 for the license and add-ons to achieve the functions I use now and then have to spend yet more to pay a third party to facilitate the move because there is no intrinsic method for...

Hi, How different is the Xenforo database from the vB database? I'm asking since I've had problems with my vB database since migrating to vB hosting and then back to self hosted and am wondering if there's enough difference to that these bugs might self correct if I convert from vB to Xenforo...

Can a forum on vBulletin 6 Cloud be imported to Xenforo? I am a couple months in to vB cloud and I’m not too impressed and am looking at going back to self hosted and maybe other software.

I own a rather large vBulletin 3.8.x forum that I need to update to a newer software. I've been looking at moving to a more recent version of vBulletin simply because I already own the license. However I've been waiting for several months for the paid update service and have no real movement on...

I have a large vbulletin 3.8.x forum (Threads: 1,366,377, Posts: 20,663,439, Members: 302,724) and I'm starting to have server issues. I'm looking at upgrading the software and I'd prefer to go with Xenforo rather than vB5 however i have a few concerns. I have a LOT of custom forums, some set...

Hmm... that's somewhat disappointing. Thanks for the answer though!

I'm trying things out in a demo and I can't find how to change the layout from a roughly 80/20 two column page to a 100 single column or other option. Is this possible and if so where do i find the settings to change it? Thanks!

I have a forum with the following stats: Threads: 1,291,566, Posts: 19,532,143, Members: 292,095 I'm currently running vBulletin 3.8.9 and obviously need to either upgrade or convert to another software. I'm not a fan of vB5 at all so converting to Xenforo is an option on the table. How long...
