Me too
That's because it was written for 1.0.

The vB4 importer isn't supported and I performed test migration with it - and it worked wonderfully! I'd however want a robust, proven importer with code approved by Mike & Kier (
) before I migrate my site officially.I'm okay with unofficial importer but Paul isn't supporting it at the moment.
Worse, I don't even know the 'P' of PHP!
It is.
It's actually referenced in the official Importing section of the Help Manual.

That's the reason I would like to have a official importer for xF1.1. I can't switch to xF without the custom profile fields of my 34.000+ users.

I'm aware. I've referred to it already during my test upgrades. Just that it does not work with XF 1.1 - and I can't perform import unless it supports custom profile fields.
By the way, does anyone know whether XF will have its own sitemap generator? Is it in the game plan?
So a hypothetical situation for all of you waiting for a 1.1 importer then.
Kier and Mike already made it clear that there was little point in duplicating effort on an official importer when the one Paul M did was perfectly adequate.
King Kovifor is now writing an importer which will support 1.1 and all of the features and functionality.
If Kier and Mike take the same approach to this new importer, does that mean you also won't use that as it's unofficial?

A fully working and robust (preferably free) importer is a need. Why should there be any stress on it being tagged as "OFFICIAL" (or in other words, developed by Mike and/or Kier)?

Why does it matter? By the time the importer is out you've probably converted, so there is no point to use the importer again?

if you care much about prefix and profile field you shoud definitely wait for an official importer. Otherwise the unofficial importer does pretty much a great job importing users, threads, blogs...

We finally updated our 119,000 plus vB4 forum to XF today. Since we don't use prefixes, I installed XF 1.0.4, ran the original vB4 updater, then went to 1.1b4. So far so good, though there are minor glitches I'm going to want to tackle. So, member profile fields seem to need adjustment, for example.

Could you explain that? I think it's not possible to import custom profile fields at the moment.

Standard stuff, such as Occupation, etc. Seems to be cutting off letters at the end of the member's description.
One more thing: Is it possible to eliminate the display showing the number of views a forum has?

a forum doesn#t have views?
do you mean the threads?
if yes, you'll need to edit your thread_list_item template and remove
Code:
<dl class="minor"><dt>{xen:phrase views}:</dt> <dd>{xen:if $thread.isRedirect, '–', {xen:number $thread.view_count}}</dd></dl>Similar threads
