Vbulletin 5 to XenForo

[Geiri]

I am wondering if I should go from Vb5 to XenForo.
My main concern is language pack. I Translated the Vb bulletin to my native lang and It is not available to XF.
So questions:
Can vbulltins lang pack be used in XenForo? ( First glance they look identical )
Can photos in Vbulletin threads be imported in XFMG?
How do older Photopost Pro users like the XFMG?
Is there any help provided when importing between?

Yes you should.

And I recommend talking with @MySiteGuy - you won't regret it. He's done literally dozens of these migrations.

I really don't think you should. Can I ask you why would you like this change?

Mainly because of the Media Gallery and XF also feels more modern. It' looks strong

Personally, I think that vBulletin feels more modern and the custom styles look better. However, that's it pretty much. XenForo instead is more powerful, has by far better support and resources, etc.

Anyway, I wouldn't migrate unless absolutely necessary. There must be a Media Gallery add-on for vB and how it feels is just a preference.

No - they are different software.
You would have to translate the XF phrases yourself if there isn't a third party language pack available.

Can photos in Vbulletin threads be imported in XFMG?

Do you mean attachments or embedded content?
If so, yes.

Is there any help provided when importing between?

We have a dedicated import support forum.

Hey,

We are using vB since 2010.
vB4 was pretty good, vB 5 is a mistake.

We are thinking about migration from vB5 to your xenforo.
I have vB in version 5.6.4 couse i got my money back for the license.

So, is is possible to migrate from 5.6.4 to latest xenforo?
What about CMS content etc?

I writing now because there is a CVE for vB soo i need to decide.

Thank you!
