Hi @evildrome,

Does this help me get things into a WordPress forum plugin?

I see I can export, Can I import things into BBPress? That is what I installed

I don’t see anything on that on your instructions page.

Thanks!

Bruce

Need… I need… I need…

I need some way to snarfle down all the content, images, message threads… from a yahoo-groups list… and import it into a (preferably better and more usable functionality forum plugin.

Here is an example of the list I need to move.

Here is where it needs to go.

I’m willing to get whatever forum plugin that will work with it.. but I can’t do a paid plugin, as this is a free, volunteer, no money, service to a small group of old sailboat owners that would rather sail then send money to support a site they only go to when they are taking on water, often literally! ??

Is Simple:Press Forums any good?

Thanks for responding.

Until there is a easy way to layout images and content together in a table like visually aligned structure… then tables are still the only option that easily works.

The argument that tables are only “right” for data is fine until you want to make a page actually look good and be visually more readable with things more than “data”

This has been a problem for decades now. Designers care and need layout ease. we need it for data and objects because visually they are all interchangeable and need to be easily moved, placed and aligned with each other. That’s just reality. I wish someone on the programming side would get it and create an answer that is easy and works.

I get more and more frustrated with Gutenberg every time I use it. Every page I edit seems to reveal yet another thing that it can’t do that was easy to do before and now either doesn’t exist or get broken by Guten.

I’m all for progress and I’m willing to take a step back in order to move forward and ultimately further forward… but this just feels and works like a backwards walk off the cliff.
