Congrats on your victory xF and to help celebrate I will be taking advantage of your upcoming sale and snatching up a license :D.

I just need to have a couple of questions answered.

  • Does xF come with a converter? If not can someone recommend one?
  • I currently have a vB 4.2 Suite with active blogs and deactivated CMS. How will the blogs be converted?
  • Will forum and user permissions carry over?
  • Once converted will members have to reset their passwords?
  • What will happen with groups?
  • Is there an Arcade, project tool, Blogs, CMS, Links Directory, Downloader, addons available?
  • How hard is it to create custom pages?
  • What are some recommended/useful addons?
Thanks in advance for your assistance and cheers (y)

EDIT: My apologies for being so vague on the Downloader; this is what I was previously using on my vB4 site

Downloads II

DownloadsII is a download database that integrates into vBulletin. It allows you to upload files, add images to them, create categories, link to external files - and more.
 
This importer actually did import Social Groups, Social Groups Images, Blogs and lbums all into a category labelled vBulletin 4 imported Data.

Are you using the regular XF importer? So is this stuff actually put in a forum, i.e. publicly accessible in the new XF install? Can you post a link to how that looks?

I used this importer: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/vb4-importer.1025/
The importer puts those sections into a private category (node), I had to change the permissions so you can see them now at the bottom of the forums under vBulletin 4 Imported Data; http://iheartfreestyle.com/forums/index.php
