I'm currently using DNN as a CMS. It includes a forum software, which stores posts in HTML format. I'm thinking about switching to WowUltra since the forum software is slow and buggy. There is 1 year's worth of posts (800 threads, >5000 posts)... would there a way to transfer it? I'm fluent in databases and could open both databases and write some VB (in MSAccess) to perform the transfer

Welcome and thank you for checking out WowUltra! Looks like you have already experimented with a trial board. As you have probably discovered, Ultra uses a MySQL database. I currently don't have a converter for any other database except for a WowBB 1.7. If you understand database structure well enough it is obvious where to put the info but there is a lot to consider like users, categories, forums, topics, posts... seems like a large project.

Just the right mix of features and speed. The database format is no problem. My question is more on the message format. Are messages stored in HTML of bbcodes ? Do you have a list of bbcodes supported ? (and their equivalent HTML, though I presume, I can find that quite easy) Yes, I realize that this can be a lot of work
