i've spent quite a bit of time and money already, in attempting to move a large ubb classic forum to mysql forum software, and that includes getting professional help from vb, php and smf.
i've attempted more classic to mysql conversions that you could imagine. not even the guru's at vb could migrate my forum to their software. every migration conversion failed before any kind of completion.
and i'm an updated paid user of vb, php and smf - there is no reason for me to pay ubb for something i don't want: ubb threads.
i've plugged in some posts to this thread in comment to the topic posters comments/questions.
i'm no longer actively looking to move my forum off ubb, but if you, or anyone else for that matter, think you can, let's do lunch and talk ....
