Method of migrating from ubb.threads (7.5.8 - nothing new, just old and stable version) to vB Cloud?

[Conrad]

I am interested in becoming a vB Cloud customer for many years to come, but first I need to move my current forum over from ubb.threads.

Is there an import module that can easily handle this?...

[Conrad]

This seems like great value if you ask me.

By getting an app you are giving your site a presence on the app store, and users can access it quickly by simply tapping on the site's app (with...

I'm currently considering migrating to vB Cloud from a different software, but to compensate for the change I am keen on the first look & feel of the new vB Cloud forum to resemble a classic discussion...

Is there a shout box feature where everyone can write?

In the case of very large boards (BIG database), is there an archive feature to move old posts into a separate databse that is read-only? Just thinking of what happens when a database gets really big...

[Conrad]

Thanks mate, what about a shout box - is something like this available as part of the features?

I think something like this would solve me need for a separate module, and I just read that...

[Conrad]

Many thanks. I am mainly interested in the cloud version of vBulletin so I take it there is no way to get any form of chat feature running on that?

[Conrad]

I'm looking at setting up a new community and in addition to the forums we are keen on a chat feature for users that happen to be online at the moment. Does the forum package/suit include some sort of...

A simple built-in rotation system would be great as most of us don't need anything complicated but just a handful of basic functions like rotation.

In the meantime you can just use a few...

Is there a built-in module that handles banners and their rotation from within the Admin CP?

Is there anyone here who has imported from UBB.T at all?

[Conrad]

I am looking to import my forum where we have almost 3mln posts and the table containing them shows 2.05 GB for the "data length" and 1.56 GB for the "index length." On top of that...

[Conrad]

Thanks, guys.

If the posts table grows to 2-3 GB, will editing large posts be just as quick as with a smaller forum?

Many years ago forum software had a pruning feature that...

[Conrad]

Since they make up the majority of the database size, are they somehow split into separate tables depending on time-frame for instance, or are all posts ever written on a forum kept in a single table...

I have a UBB.T 7.5.6 board that I'd like to import to vBulletin, has anyone made a similar move recently after the owner/head programmer moved on to do other stuff?

If so, has Impex worked...

[Conrad]

Thank you Codename49! All I wanted is a rough estimate - I wasn't after something along the lines of 16:00 GMT February 14th.

If late 2002 is the official ETA then that's good enough for...

[Conrad]

I was actually looking for a rough ETA, something along the lines of "first quarter 2003."

[Conrad]

No ETA at all? Forget it, I think I've just made up my mind...

Right now I run a UBB license and the decision has been made to move to a PHP/MySQL solution. I tried moving to vB a while back but the delays in the import module (over three months...) and the problems...
