vBulletin/PhotoPost import

[vfrworld]

I am considering migrating from vBulletin 4.2.5 to xenForo. I've read the manual and forums, but just want to be absolutely sure before I move forward:

1. Will I be able to successfully import from vBulletin 4.2.5
2. Will I be able to successfully import from PhotoPost Pro 8.2

Thanks.

Yes, there are built in importers for both - you will need to purchase the optional Media Gallery add-on for the latter.

The pre-sales FAQ lists the importers available: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/pre-sales-faq.4951/

Follow-up question - when running the importer, does the old database need to be on the same server as the new xenforo installation, or can it connect remotely and import, as long as the attachments and avatars are stored in the database instead of the filesystem?

Both the database and any files (images, avatars, etc.) need to be on the same server.
