I have a BIG decision to make… do I stay as I am with Jcink..OR..switch to Xenforo? I looked at IPB..and read community posts. people are not happy with the service any more. Xenforo cannot convert my forum over..so it would mean starting again..something I do NOT want to do… decisions decisions..

Or find someone who can do the conversion. Jcink lets you have database backups, so it’s entirely possible for someone to write an importer.

Or convert to another software that allows for an old IPB database, then upgrade to their latest software, purchase a licenses from Xenforo and then import from the latest version of the software you've imported to. It's more convoluted than looking for someone to make a converter, but it's also cheaper. (Unless money isn't an issue.) Though to be fair, having a standalone converter for Jcink boards would be great. You wouldn't have to go through the headache of converting to an outdated software, then upgrade to the latest version.

My INVALUABLE techy person..Mr Skyon Archer…who @Cory knows well..can work magic…but..not sure he can do all that… @Cory? . I wont start from scratch again…

 

[Arantor]

Immediate question: do you use dohtml? None of the major vendors support it (XenForo explicitly doesn't, IPS could with some effort)

I assume you don't use the subaccounts feature either.

Everything else should be fair game for conversion. But I thought you hated everything else because it was too complicated.

 

[Jane]

No I do not use dohtml or subaccounts, As for being too complicated…I get by but I’m not quite as techy minded as some of you.

 

[Cory]

but..not sure he can do all that… @Cory?

He's way more technically inclined in that area than I am.
