I'm currently looking at migration paths for my current .net 1.1 and Web Wiz Forum based site.

My main issue at the moment is migration of my current web wiz forum. I don't want to lose the 2 1/2 years worth of threads that i currently have sitting in sql.

So the question..

Does anyone have or know of a converter to go from WWF to YAF?

Thanks.

All good.. I'll build one..

YAF Team, thanks for the forum software!!! I know a lot of people take your time and energy for granted..

I'll try and help you guys out where I can.. Just have to brush up on my C# first.

You have an option to go here, because a full conversion is demanding

The additional issue will be password encryption. Users may have to reset all passwords during the migration - that depends on how WebWiz handles their data storage.

I couldn't make an estimate on time taken without seeing atleast a sample of the old data, and even then the layout and conversion scripts could take me several weeks to write and test.

I could probably work with you on a rate - but like bbobb said - it's not easy. You'd have to determine a budget and make a post in the YAF Jobs. I'm currently in the middle of evaluating a job now that really needs to be on bbobb's plate. Its' got umbraco integration and that's not my kettle of wax --

It depends. Data is stored in a database in tables.

You can figure out it step by step if you can read the db structure and having a working real database or an actual copy. Really you don't even need to know how it works behind database.

When I divide my salary by my working hours I notice that no YAF job could be even spotted on my plate.

The general idea that users should get help. No matter who makes it. This is IMO.

Sometimes, they can't even pay a real price, but with a joined help from community members who sometimes care about such users, even the members can be served to an extent.
