You're wanting to import DotNetNuke Forum to YetAnotherForum, right? I don't know if there is a tool available for that. Are you going to use YAF within DNN, or using YAF standalone?

I use Yaf Within dnn

For first step I need to import all users from dnn to yaf

As I know Yaf has its own user table

before importing my old forum to yaf I need create users in yaf table

Use the User Importer from the Yaf user Importer Page (available from within the Module Actions Menu)

Below is code that I am using to tie messages to a specific TopicID. I don't know if this will help, but you'll see the parameters you must include and the Flags value to use.

 private bool InsertMessage(MessageImportItem M, int GameDayTopicID, long messageID)
        {
            try
            {
                using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["yaf"].ConnectionString))
                {
                    connection.Open();
                    using (SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("yaf_message_save", connection))
                    {
                        command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
                        

                        var paramMessageID = new SqlParameter("@MessageID", messageID) { Direction = ParameterDirection.Output };


                        //command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@MessageID"));
                        command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@TopicID", GameDayTopicID));
                        command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@UserID", M.UserID));
                        command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Message", M.Message));
                        command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@UserName", M.Username));
                        command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@IP", M.IP));
                        command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Posted", M.Posted));
                        command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@ReplyTo", messageID));
                        //command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@BlogPostID      nvarchar(50) = null,
                        //command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@ExternalMessageId nvarchar(255) = null,
                        //command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@ReferenceMessageId nvarchar(255) = null,

                        command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@UTCTIMESTAMP", M.Posted));
                        command.Parameters.Add(paramMessageID);
                        messageID = (long)paramMessageID.Value;
                        command.ExecuteNonQuery();
                        return true;
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                ShowAlert("danger alert-dismissible", "x", "SQL", ex.Message);
                return false;
            }

        }
