I've seen some people say that they converted from 1.1 but when ever I check the page with the converters it only says it does xenforo 1.0

Is that a typo? If I buy IPB will I be able to import from 1.1?

[d4rkcry3r]

Yes, of course. I had no problem to convert my forum from Xenforo 1.1.1.

Is there a list of users who converted from xenforo to IP.Board?

[Hatsu]

I don't think so.

We do not, ourselves, publish any such list.  Further - our converters are freely downloadable on our website, so realistically we'd have no way to ever know who converted to our software, vs who purchased our software out right (without manually researching every purchase made, which we have no interest in doing ).

Moral of the story - there is no list of people who have converted, publicly or privately.  It would be up to the client to share this information if they desired to do so.

My concern is that people say that the converter works for 1.1 but the page only says it goes up to 1.0 and I would prefer to get a staff member confirm or day. We are very closing to buying and I would also like to know if the IP. Calendar addon comes with the board?

We actually just made updates to the XF converter a few days ago from feedback as we have had quite a few converts lately (and those converts were very helpful - thanks!). We will be pushing those updates to the converters public in just a couple days but, if you plan on converting sooner, one of our staff will be happy to manually give you the updates if you submit a ticket asking for them.

I will update the web site to reflect it does work with 1.1.

If you do have any issues at all with the converter feel free to open a support ticket so one of our staff can address the issues. The converter does not modify your existing database (it makes a copy) so you can always re-run it after we address any hurdles you may come across.

Thanks so much for your response! We will be making IPB the software of our site and will be purchasing IP.Board/Gallery/Content sometime next week !

Great to hear

Be sure you order with the same email address you're posting with here so your account gets linked up and is upgraded to Client status.

IP.Calendar is available to you for free with the purchase of IP.Board, yes.  It is a separate download in your client area (when you go to download IPB, after clicking on the button to the right, IP.Calendar is listed as an available option in the menu presented), but is freely available to all active IP.Board license holders.
