User blog comment:BertH/Migrating Forum Content to Discussions/@comment-28083312-20170811175859

Glad that the following now transfers over, it will make migrating easier for some communities I think. My Community has not shut down its Forum & migrated yet, but during the process of a merge the Forum area of the Wiki merging with ours was brought to our Discussions area, & I was quite pleased with the process & the degree of formatting which was preserved. However, I hope that Discussions will have many more features such as highlighting, rich text editing, search, topics, et cetera before Forums are shut down en masse.
