XF 2.1 Importing blogs from vBulletin 3.6?

[36degrees]

Hi,

We're looking to migrate a vBulletin 3.6 board with blogs to XenForo.

The importers include 'vBulletin 3.7, 3.8 with vBulletin Blog' and 'vBulletin 3.6' but there is no 'vBulletin 3.6 with vBulletin Blog'.

Is there any reason why this is not included as a supported source? Are there any plans to support this? Or has anyone found a way to import blogs from vBulletin 3.6?

Thanks,

Ollie

XF does not have a blog add-on.

XF does not have a blog add-on.

Its default importers pull VB's blogs into forums/threads.

Then I would upgrade vB to that version.

Upgrade to vB 3.8 first, then import to XF 2.1.

This is a 4m+ post board we're looking to migrate, and the licence expired long enough ago that we don't have access to vBulletin 3.7+, so ideally I'm looking for a solution that doesn't involve doing that.

I think the vB licence is lifetime if I am not mistaken. You can log in and download 3.8.

Unfortunately not.

That looks odd to me I've always been able to download the latest and did before I migrated to XF.

This is what I see and I haven't used it in ages
