You would have to create a small program to convert the data, even if we export it to SQL. Each forum out there has its own data structure and we can't satisfy all cases with some generic format. So converting XML to MySql will not be more work than converting SQL to SQL.

Thanks for the fast reply, Hugo. I am not good with these kinds of stuff, but I understand what you mean.

So, is there any chance that you can export it to SQL for me?

This is what I've been told by the support team of the other forum software I am experimenting with:

"That's what our custom conversions personnel can do; create a conversion program based on content and layout of the SQL database. But that would be the first step, getting an SQL database so we can see if it's even possible. Please ask Nabble to provide you an SQL database, and if you will provide that to us, we can see whether a conversion will be possible."

So we would really appreciate it, if you could provide us an SQL database.

Thanks again for your helps.
