Hello!

Let me first thank you for this great module that is exactly what I am looking for!

I am actually using a forum called phorum that is programmed with php. Now I would like to move all the discussions/posts to the DNN Forum module. I created the forums "by hand" and thougth to do some little code who creates the discussions and posts.
The first problem is that the users are not created when they do not use the forum. So as all the users never accessed the new forum I wont be able to import their posts (or I would have to keep them anonymous - what wouldn't be acceptable). So the question is if there is any easy way to import discussions from any datasource (access/SQL-Server/XML..) into each forum (or all at the time), and which adds the users necessayr for the creation of a post automatically?

Another solution would be to add all existing users form DNN into the forum's usertable and then to the import by SQL. If this is the best solution, could anybody tell me if it makes a problem if I just add the users by SQL into the user-table (Forum_Users), the discussions into Forum_Threads and the posts into Forum_Posts? Will the counting of the posts per user and per forum be updated automatically? Or to I have to do it by hand?

Thank you very much for any help on this import porblem !

Regards,
Fabian
