You can't keep the old URLs structure unless you heavily customize xenForo code (Or have someone write an add-on for you).

Just wondering.. How did you manage to get a web-hosting without the use of a credit card or PayPal?

If your website is small. I would not recommend spending money on VPS or dedicated servers. A shared hosting with a reliable web hosting company would be enough. BTW, The number of posts/members does not reflect the website activity.. The members online (with no cookies value change) does...

Hi, Many users incorrectly type their email provider name when the register in the forum.. like: hotmial.com, hotmil.com,hotmali.com.. etc My suggestion is a JavaScript error message that says "Email provider name looks incorrect, Did you mean: Hotmail?" This option should be configurable, so...

Setting up a test forum won't give you the ability to test SEO and revenue impact. The only way to know if a software is doing well is to examine it in a real production environment.

I think the best choice is to take a complete backup before you convert. Setup xenForo and use it for a while and see how it works. If you didn't like it you can restore the backup and convert the links back to vBulletin 4 structure. The total loss is the number of posts that were posted after...

Hi, We have the following situation: A webmaster offers automatic account upgrades. When a member in the forum reaches 50 posts he'll be able to create new threads. When he gets 5 likes he'll be able to like other members' posts. In General: When a member in the group x reaches x of x he'll be...

Hi, This is the concept: When Invitation system is enabled the regular registration will be disabled (members can only register by getting an invitation). A new member (and existing members as well) have an initial number of invitations which can be used to invite friends to the forum. New...

From usual use I can't tell if 1.2 is slower the the previous one. In that case only a page speed test can tell.

The more likes this post gets the more good will be the chance for this to be implemented :)
