No, it doesn't support MySQL.
There are no plans to support MySQL. If you are willing to update some of the code, it can run with MySQL, but it's not easy. It's not too hard either. ------------- L. Jamal Walton http://www.ljamal.com/" rel="nofollow - L. Jamal Inc : Web/ Print Design and ASP Programming |

Actually there are several forum applications that work with MySQL, although not so rich in features like this one. You can search on aspin.com or HotScripts.com ------------- Cristian Banu http://www.soft4web.ro - Soft 4 web |

I had a look at writting a mySQL server version of teh forum, but after around 20 hours I gave up. ASP at present doesn't work very well with mySQL as mySQL doesn't support many of the SQL99 standards, also the myODBC driver doesn't fully support ADO. This means that nearly every page of teh forum would need to be re-written lossing performance and security. So I decided it was best to stick with and optimise the code for Access and SQL Server. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
