XF 2.2 Another VB import - transition question

I did some searches and there are many VB4 import related questions over the years. I wonder if there is a VB to XF transition FAQ around? Not just the technicality of db importation, but something that collects the nuisances?

I am looking at how user ban is run at the XF vs VB, this makes me think how it should be done after the migration. I think the way to do it will be doing a "batch user update" to move anyone in the banned usergroup to "ban" state, but this only works for members in the permanent ban, not in temp ban.

And what is the behaviour of users in VB whose membership is in the banner usergroup is associated with infraction points?

Are VB profile "notes" transferred to XF "profile post"?

If these is a depository of the solutions to many of these small things it will be great.

@ed762 Hi Ed,

I am migrating my vBulletin 3.8.11 board to Xenforo and I am find myself in the exact same boat, feeling the need to have a VB to XF transition FAQ.

For example, I just discovered something about the permissions inside the Banned usergroup that was imported into the Xenforo testboard, that doesn’t make sense to me.

Migrate to a demo site (the VB site remains unchanged) and you can run all the tests you need to understand everything you want.

That helps a lot indeed, I am now testdriving my imported test board. However, it would still help if there was a consolidated document available where all these “ins and outs” of the Permissions system were explained.
