Nope, there's no conveter / importer for XF 1.4.8 available yet. There's one for XF 1.1 to ElkArte 1.0, maybe it can be modified in order to work with XF 1.4.8..

have a look at this addon:
http://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?topic=513.msg3879#msg3879
It's not build-in because it's webserver specific feature (mostly apache) and ElkArte isn't developed for just one webserver software, it works well with Apache but also with nginx, lighttpd, Microsoft IIS and lot's of others ..

At some point we should really thing about adding some kind of "friendly url".
It may need some work though, probably for 2.0...

And about XenForo, as TE said there is one for 1.1, if you are willing to help preparing one for 1.4, what is needed is a database dump, it should be enough the one from a demo board, with few messages and members, covering the most common situations (locked, unapproved, soft-delete, and alike)

However, it will break Google rankings when upgrading a 1.whatever to 2.0. This, unless you manage to get an automatic 301 on old topics.

@kingofseo , welcome to ElkArte. There are a lot of helpful people here who can help you with conversion. As for SEO, it is highly script dependent and as far as I know there are no convertors ( for any software ) that encourage conversion with add-on features.
