Moving from Vbulletin to Xenforo

Thanks for all the replies.

Good news, I successfully ported the downloads last night / this morning.

now the only critical point is the URL rewrites, which is when you visit a thread/forum on vbulletin it will not match the URLS of xenforo.

I will have a go, but it's not my area - so probably will need to pay an Nginx expert

I do not plan any down time though... it should be an easy swap over (lol maybe).

At least @Rat will not break anything this time lmfao :) lol

Yes carry on @Ferret!

I only did a test run, I also need to do the forum again completely.

On the day that I plan to change over, I will put a BIG NOTICE on the top saying all posts today may be lost.

But dont worry, until the notice is up feel free to put the downloads on guys.
@Rat will find a way to break something!

Will Xenforo have a decent mobile skin ? Tapatalk is getting terrible for adverts now
I do like the mobile skin we have now but there are a few bugs in it that make it unusable for me at least

Good luck with the port @Mick, sounds like a 'mare of a job but who better to do it?

Re. ad's on Tapatalk @Rat, I don't know if it's available on iOS, but there's a great wee app for Android called AdClear, it uses a VPN to blocks ad's on app's- works a treat.

Update:

We are a week behind, the firm I paid to do the forum rewrites unfortunately could not finish it by last weekend.

They will be finished by Wednesday/thursday which means I can then get us moved for Saturday the 17th.

Thanks everyone.

Just to let you all know, this will now be Monday that we move to xenforo.

The company that are doing the rewrites cannot work this weekend...

So will be Monday.

Thank you all.
