As far as i understand this is a long process. I'm trying to find out if there are some short cuts I can take. Looking at the differences between the tables, i dunno. this is a big project it looks like.

It wouldn't be that big of a deal but i have 2 forums, one with over 1,300 users. Both however have less than a few hundred posts.

I started out using phpbb2 & mySQL. Then converted over to SQL. I figured out some tricks to pull that one off in almost no time.

So bascially I have 2 forums, in SQL ready to be converted over to webwizforums. Which by the way I think is just awesome. I hate php, and have been waiting for a asp replacement for a long time.

So what suggestions? All this work is on my own local server.

Also there are some things that are lacking from phpbb2 that I think would be a neat addition to webwizforums. Such as a smilies control panel, and someway to edit the appearance (colors etc) unless i missed that it already exists. Great job!
