Yes, 286 has parent_id -1.

No I havent' installed the mod yet.  I asked my question here before attempting anything.  I will check it out, but all the different softwares i've seen handle subforums the same; just assigning a parent id and giving it a switch for category or forum.

Thanks for your time and support.

yes we have multiple forums which have children.

You can see an example here of a forum which is 5 levels deep and has 6 children itself:

Thanks,

Actually the way it works is they just have a parentid field in the ibf_forums table.  They have another field that defines wether or not users can post to that forum essentially being the switch between category and forum.

Our site is like a sourceforge for niche 3d programs, so each file can have its own forum.  We then assign the owner of the file as the moderator of that forum.  We have over 10,000 files so good thing we are already looking to make a switch now (only had that system up for 2 months).

If you want I can give you a sql structure dump of ipb.

Thats what I was afraid of.. we have a few hundred subforums.

Thanks I will give it a shot.

One more question, how does punBB handle upgrading when you have mods such as subforum and instant message mod?  Do you have to remod your board each upgrade?

Hello,

First of all thanks for making a board that focuses on the real purpose and use of a board and not a bunch of bloat.  Reminds me of wwwthreads before they got bought out; still one of the most full featured intelligent use boards... but couldnt handle performance.

I needed subforums on my site and switched to IPB.  Wow what a mistake.  From an admin perspective its ass backwards and has no site integration without being a "skinner".

My Question: id like to switch to punbb with the subforum mod to take in the subforums from IPB in their correct heirarchy.  Is this possible with the migration tool?

Thanks
