Hi JimHoward,

If you simply must use mySQL, then you should try phpBB forums.However, I've used it before and compared to the features of WWG, Iprefer WWG anyday. There are several of us here that have hosting andoffer MS SQL and mySQL, including -borg-'s hosting companythat hosts this forum. I'd suggest looking at several that are in thesignatures around here as well as -borg-'s. Compare features and priceand see if you can maybe change hosts.

As a side note, if your current host supports MS Access, you mayconsider testing the forum out with Access. Although you shouldseriously consider migrating to MS SQL for a busy forum, that would atleast give you a way to test out WWG.Wink

If you need a forum to try, I'll be glad to setup an Access one for youto fully test on my site. You could also install IIS and test on yourlocal pc (if on Win2k Pro, XP Pro, or Win9x with PWS) using Access ordownload the MSDE to test out a SQL Server version.

I know that there has been much discussion about MySQL versus MSSQL.
 
The problem I have is that my host provides MySQL for FREE, but charges for MSSQL.
 
While I am not a cheapskate, I would like to take advantage of MySQL.
 
Is there a good approach or solution for using MySQL?
 
I would like to see support for both backends for the Web Wiz Forum.
