I have a forum and use ubbthreads. would like to update and use something like simplepress which offers way more, and is WP based.

 

My question...can I bring my posts/threads over from my current forum?

 

If so, can I pay to get help? Maybe create a dev site to work on it until all glitches are smoothed out...

 

thanks...

We don't have an importer for this platform sadly but for what I believe is a reasonable fee there is a service called gConverter (http://gconverters.com/) that claim they can move your data from ubbthreads to Simple:Press. We are not affiliated in any ay with gConverter but we have always heard good things about their service so it might be worth you talking to them.

No problem. As for hosting the rule of thumb is that you really get what you pay for - cheap hosting, expect a slower service. There is so much choice out there It's not something I can personally advise on, but possibly other members who have large forums might have a few suggestions.
