Hi

I am looking for a forum module to use for our company website.

We have a running DNN 4.5.5 site on which this forum should be. An upgrade to a newer DNN version can only be done if there is nothing that can work with our current version.

Our current solution are a number of news groups running on an in-house news server which is connected to a mailing-list so ppl can participate on the discussions even though they don't know how to use nntp (Our user base have very low IT-knowledge).

I want to migrate these news groups to the forum and import all the messages there, so the users can continue their discussions from the groups on our forum.

The most optimal would be to assign the different posts from the news groups to specific users on our site based on their email-address, but I know that this could be very tricky to do, so alternatively I would be satisfied just to load all the posts into one dedicated account.

Many of the posts on the news groups have attachements, which are also nessesary to migrate.

Also I would like to know if it is possible to keep the forum connected to the mailing list, so that users who do not want to use the forum can still participate using emails.

Anybody knows if there is a forum module, which supports what I want? Can the Forum module on this site do this?

Regards,
Jan
