You're gonna have to transfer those posts from the old forum somehow Steven You can't expect members to have to go through the introductions all over again...takes too long and will put folks off posting.

Hey Paul yes i am trying to get all off the posts and threads here but its going to be a bit hard as Unfortunately, since the forum provider was free, there is lack of major features with it. There is no FTP to transfer the files, nor phpMyAdmin to export the database. This is why, we can not transfer the forum from the old one but there a other ways to get them so members will have to give me sometime as this may take a few weeks to do.

how about asking each member if they would be willing to set a password known only to you and them for a couple of days, would that allow you to copy and paste under other peoples names. after a couple of days ( or however long you require) you could email the members asking them to reset their passwords giving control of their accounts back to them.
if that would help then I would be willing to do it.

just realised that doing that with the passwords will only work if you have everybody's. if you do not have acess to all accounts then there will be posts that were made as answers to topics but no original topic (maybe).
let me know what you decide to do Steven
