Another conversion question

[RayJ]

Greetings,

I have another client that is considering xenForo (converting from vB).

But, this one is complex. There are three forums two live (vb3 and vb4) and an archive (vb4).

And, many users are registered on all three.

Do you provide a service that could merge these and merge the users accounts?

Or do you know of a good service that can do that?

The built in importer can be run as often as you like plus there is an official redirection add on available which can ensure both the currently live installations are appropriately redirected to the correct content in XF.

That is good news.

How are matching username and/or email addresses handled?

If the merged sites both have a user (fred), ideally, if the same persons account, auto merge the account.

But what if they are not the same person?

I am sure the "unique email address" requirement was active on all the forums intended to be merged.

Would those be auto merged?

You will get the option to either handle username and email conflicts automatically, or action each conflict individually.

Perfect!

Thanks!
