Hi All,

I planned to import my PhpBB2 forums www.somasimple.com/forums/ and tried to simulate the task but when I associate my "old" username = bernard, all my posts are now signed with "imported_bernard".

Is there a way to get normally my "old" posts?

You need to merge the users imported_bernard and bernard.
It tries to associate the users per email address, so you would have to have those be the same for it to work automatically.

what if all users has this problem, and with 3000 members i do it one by one ?

Then either you have doubled the import and removed the users importid, or you didn't merge on email.
