Hello,

I imported my board last night from YaBBSE 1.5.5 to a new vBulletin board. I am currently in the process of recounting forum stats because none of my users or posts showed until I did that.

However, my only problem is that out of all my boards and topics, one whole board did not import. I have a forum dedicated to tropical fish, and our "Beginners" board didn't show up after I finished the import. All the other boards and topics are there. I know it was in the database backup that I used because I just backed the old forum up a day before I switched everything over.

Is there a way for me to just import the board that's missing now, and all the threads in it? Or is it lost for good?

Thanks,

Ryan Smith

Also, I forgot to mention that all of my users imported fine with the exception of my actual admin account. It renamed it from "admin" to "imported_admin". Is there any way for me to change it back to admin, or how do I login to access it? I tried a couple different ways.

It's supposed to do that so you know which admin is which.

Does the missing forum show up in the forum manager ?

Hi Jerry,

Yes, the forum is listed in the Forum Manager. I also have a mod-only board that was hidden from our forum users, and it shows up in the Forum Manager as well (though I can't see it on the main page of the forum).

I figured it out... in YaBB when you ordered forums numerically you could use 0. All my boards that weren't displaying were listed as 0. I changed them to 1 and reordered the following boards accordingly, and now everything's there.

Thanks :)

Indeed, as per the HOWTO, check all permissions and settings of imported forums.
