I'm going to drop all my test forum tables, reinstall vB, and conduct my test import again. I have to be able to make it work perfectly when I make the actual conversation -- so I have to be able to make it work perfectly during the testing phase too.
A couple of problems I had the first time (besides the Avatars - thank you for the help) was Polls. I have about 400 polls and 36 of them failed to import. The error message in the db said, " The poll was imported though not attached to the correct thread."
Why would those 36 polls have this error and can I do anything to fix or prevent this? By the way I ran that module 2 or 3 times during my first couple trial imports and the same 36 polls failed every time.
Also, I had lots of problems with users, things like some huge number being put in as the usernumber for all of the users -- but I'm positive that this was because I didn't wipe out the entire db when I reran the import of users two or three times.
One last thing. The biggest and hardest part was the import of posts. It took over an hour. Now, I really did learn my lesson about not deleting everything in the db... BUT, if you were to say that I could export that one table from my first test install and skip running the post module and then upload the posts table as an SQL query after the rest of the install was finished--- well, that would make my day.
Thanks
