Those look like decent requests. If you're getting their birthday, the user's age could be calculated.

A SQL query is going to be your best bet. UPDATE yaf_Users SET Email = NickName + "@MyPostDomain.com" Double check your field and table names. You may also want to do a TRIM on nickname or a REPLACE if you're allowing spaces.

The latest source is included in 1.9.3 SVN. You'll have to purchase your own copy of Telerik to get the Telerik.Web.UI.dll assembly.

Yeah, the latest was sent in and should be included in the latest 1.9.3 source.

Oops - free version is for MOSS 2007. But I've got the rest done. Just need to get latest and create a patch file for Jaben.

If your Telerik assembly is named "Telerik.Web.UI.dll", then it probably won't work. The released version of YAF supports a depricated version of RadEditor. I'm in the works of recoding the new editor in as well as the new RadEditor express - a free edition from Telerik.

I have it 99% working with the latest assembly from Telerik (2008.3.1105.20 or 2008.3.1105.35 if you're using .NET 3.5). I should have it working soon and will post changes to Jaben. I hope it will be included in the next release. Either way, I can send you the changes if you want.

Having used both...I would suggest YAF for your case. I checked out your site and it is using ASP.NET (.aspx pages). This should make for a very smooth transition to bring in YAF (also uses asp.net).

phpbb is a decent forum, but is written in PHP (a different language) and you may have issues integrating with what you've got.

I thought you might say that.

Quick brainstorm:

X posts in a timeframe = point bonus?

Ability for users to give each other points?

Would be nice for users to be able to "rate" or mark a reply as the "answer" and associate points that way as well. Feel free to post some ideas.

My pleasure...I'm just trying to "contribute" my way on to the dev team. I'll keep you posted on the XML import stuff.
