I recently bought a VB license(version 3.6) and installed it on my server at http://www.andanotherone.com/forum/. I used impexed to import over my IPB(2.1.7) board database information. Everything seemed to go smoothly in the import. I did not receive any errors and nothing strange happened. I updated the counter and saved display.. all the stuff mentioned in the manual. I thought everything had gone right.. but then I looked around at details. To start, everyone had nearly 1.8 to 2.5x more posts than they should have(strangely they vary so much.. instead of just like double posts). Next I noticed only, only a few of the basic forums(low content) showed regular posts... while the rest only seem to show STICKY topics. I tried reusing the modules for threads and posts and reupdated the counters. This was unsuccessful. I would not mind going through my 250 users and editing their post count.. but obviously replacing all the posts is an issue. Is it necessary to reinstall my VB and IMPEX and do it all over or there something I may be missing. I have only slight experience with the mysql databases so please be explicit if you can help me. Also just to let you know, I do have the latest version of IMPEX and I have not closed by source board(http://www.andanotherone.com).
Any help would be awesome :D
