Hi Tomas,

It's possible to do this - a buddy of mine did it - but it is a lot of work and you *really* have to know what you are doing.  Also, since he did it, the core has moved to Whidby membership and this puts a whole other layer of complexity on it.  I used a 3rd party import module (DNN Masters) that was suppose to make this easy but it was not.  I should say that I *DID* eventually get membership over, but it took me a weeks of figuring out the module bugs and "gotchas" before I was successful.  I don't believe there are other solutions to do this, so if you really want to get your membership over, check it out.

Then you have to build the forums through multiple SQL statements creating forums, then posts, then replies etc.  I used MS Access to build the SQL and transfers but it also requires building VB functions to deal wtih differing data formats - like the way SNITZ handles dates.  You have to build parsing functions to deal with SNITZ forum pseudo-code, signatures, links... it goes on and on.  If you are not up to this, hire a programmer...

Good luck...
