I'm making an import from IPB2 to vB3.0.7 and everything seems to working fine except that none of the imported members are showing up and also none of the users passwords seem to have been transferred over. Am I doing something wrong? Or are these features simply, not possible?

The users should show up. You might have to reset your counters.

User passwords can't be transferred, as they are hashed. Users can have a new password sent to them with the lost password form.

I've tried resetting the counters, can you tell me perhaps which one exactly needs to be reset? I might have missed one.

As for the forum passwords, thanks for the answer.

Could you let me know where exactly your members aren't showing up?

when I click on the members list link.

All the members have been counted, and they show up if I search for them in the admin CP, however they aren't showing up in the members list link at the top of the forums.

Ah ok.

Your users were most likely added to a special usergroup during the import. If you delete this usergroup, they'll all be moved back to the "Registered" usergroup and will show up on the memberslist.

The other option is to edit that usergroup and change the setting 'Viewable on the Memberlist' to Yes.

yeah, that was the problem, setting it to viewable on memberlist, thanks very much for the help.
