I have an unusual problem. I have an existing forum site with about a thousand users who tend to be kind of old school. They prefer more classic style forums so I continue to use Kunena.
i would like to add the Easysocial "Wall" to cater to the more Facebook oriented crowds, but would prefer to keep the simpler sign up screens and profile pages we currently use. Alternatively, I could see a move to the Easysocial profiles if there were a profile migration tool.
Until someone builds a more classic forum interface to Easydiscuss, I will continue to use Kunena, as that is what my users want.
As I am writing this, I see it is starting to ramble. I know there are several questions here, none of which have easy solutions. However, any thoughts you or other members may have would be welcomed. Please note I am not a programmer, so whipping up what I am looking for myself is a bit outside of the realm of current probability
