1. Admin files use to be in their own folder but found that this coursed quite a few issues the main being that allot of server have parent paths blocked for security reasons.
2 & 3. This is coursed because of the home OS setup that you have and that you are using multiple browsers. This is not an issue with the forum software which when setup and used correctly will display all images and text as they should.
4. There is a few more fields being added to version 10. However if you recorded everything in the user table you would quickly end up with a very large database with a slow forum. Web Wiz Forums is written with performance in mind and unnecessary data is not stored in the database. If you wish to record extra data such as signup IP then edit in notepad the includes/setup_options_inc.asp file and enable the logging features to store such information in Web Wiz Forums log files which are stored outside the database.
5. Every database is different and will store different information. Creating a generic member import tool is OK as this type of data is usually in a single table and there is only a few fields to import, even then it doesn't always work such as when using encrypted passwords.
Trying to create a generic import tool to import other data such as topics, posts, etc. from another database is almost impossible as the data would be stored in multiple tables with different schemas, encoding, pointers, relationships, etc. making the job of creating a generic import tool impossible.
