Adding some context. Friends running a site on vBulletin 4.2.5 and I’m temporarily hosting Discourse for them to get a feel of it. The issue is the emails - I can follow instructions enough to manually create the accounts, but should the decide on Discourse, they’ll need the emails to add users. There’s also the importing part of things - which I found this link that I think may help.
But the email needs to be resolved. I’m only keeping the box with Discourse up until we get this issue resolved. And I’m kinda trying to showcase what the support is like. My experience with the details in the forums and what I’ve seen suggests that usage/migration/support should be fairly easy once the requirements for hosting the platform are met. And once the official methods are used, getting support should be easy enough.
But yeah - that’s where we’re at. Waiting on feedback.
