The vendor of this forum software (Ryan) re-established email contact‌‌ a few days ago and ran his post on that other thread passed me. So there is a glimmer of hope, it would seem.

Hi, A‌h, all becomes a bit clearer now Is there‌ any reason (short of extra work) why you couldn't adopt the same software used on the Flyer Forums (I don't even know what it is, so feel free to point out any blindingly obvious flaws in my reasoning!).

Hi Tim, N‌‌ot to get involved in what seems like a low-priority for you guys, but if this is a stress you want lifting (without the heavy lifting) these guys are great: http://gconverters.com/convert-instantforum-net-forum-to-phpbb/ Edited 6/27/2017 10:09:39 AM by BatteriesNotIncluded
