Just wanted to confirm a few points for some data conversion I'm working on (I'm not a Snitz forum operator). Is this correct?

1. Forums (table data FORUM_FORUM) are containers holding topics. Can they also hold other forums? Is there a hierarchical level limit?

2. Topics (table data FORUM_TOPICS) are original discussions created in a Forum. This message is an example of a "topic".

3. Replies (table data FORUM_REPLIES) are subsequent posts to a topic. For example a message posted in reply to this message would be in FORUM_REPLIES.

Is that about it?

Thanks!

Doug

Thanks! So the only purpose of a Category is to hold Forums? Can it hold other things as well?
