Takeaways from migrating a medium vBulletin 4 forum (2.8 million posts) to XenForo .21

Last night we migrated one of our medium sized forums to XenForo 2.1

Considering that we used a Beta importer on Beta software with custom modifications and additional custom Beta importers (to directly import PhotoPost vBGallery and vBulletin Albums to XenForo 2.1), the whole process worked pretty smooth, there were no major issues :)

Though, as always, our members quickly noticed some things we did not notice in our tests:
  • XFI does not import thread/forum read markings 👎
  • XFI does not convert vBulletin [video] BB Code 👎
  • XFI does does not adjust font sizes when importing from vBulletin leading to significantly smaller text when font sizes < 3 are used 👎

Overallm, our users so far seem to be pretty happy :)
