Hello,

I'm interested in purchasing XenForo and upgrading our forum that runs up to now on VBB 3.8.4. I'd like to know that the product will include the UTF-8 conversion? We are Vietnamese ans use UTF-8 characters, but VBB is not very well compatible so that it does not work fine with some other portal applications such as Joomla...

And another question about social media integration: Does the XenForo licence include Facebook intergration module or I have to buy it separately?

Thank you by advance.

Yes we attempt to convert whatever character set is currently in use to UTF-8, XenForo only supports UTF-8 by default.

The ability to log in and register with a Facebook account (and Google and Twitter) is built in. There are add-ons that add additional login providers too.

Thank you for your immediate answer.

Just one more precision about what I mean by saying "VBB is not very well compatible with UTF-8": in fact, it supports also Unicode, but several fields (especially the thread titles) in its database use the collation latin1_swedish_ci, so these information is not correctly showed by other applications using utf8_unicode_ci collation for the same field.

While converting form VBB 3.8.4 to XenForo, does the process automatically convert also the fields under latin1_swedish_ci to utf8_unicode_ci?
