Hi all,
    I inherited two forums, one running on SooP which is open to the general public and one running on Web Wiz which can be viewed by the public but posts can only be made by paying members of the organization.  I would like to move the forums over to DNN as well as adding some extra services for the members, such as chat rooms.  My first question is whether it is possible to move the user accounts from the old forums into the DNN database or if I will be starting over.  My second question is whether I can have two levels of users (members with full access to the site and nonmembers with limited access).  Thanks for your help.

Jeff

Jeff,

First of all the two types of members you listed are fully available with DNN.  You can even add more roles to your site if needed!

Regarding the moving of users.  You "Can" move user accounts over to DNN, however it might be a bit of an undertaking unless you purchase a third party user import module.  If you do not purchase a user import module you will most likely be doing a large number of SQL Data Inserts to create your users. 

For the forums posts, again this one might be possible, but it will involve some database work.  If you would like some details or assistance please feel free to e-mail me.
