Associate Admin Account On import

[SFC]

Jerry - I found that if I do a second import to catch up on post, new members, etc. That some of the numbers get screwed and threads...

Lets say I have done a clean import and everything went well.

Can I do a second import of just the threads and posts? And then rebuild the thread/post info.. is this enough? Or does it screw anything up?

I'm doing phpbb latest import.

i plan to go live late tonight...

Differential import (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/impex_terminology) aren't supported at the moment.

If you re-run a module, you have to re-run all the ones that are dependant on it, and they down the chain, so if you re-do threads, you have to do posts as well etc.

and then follow the post import directions again? so run the counts again..

I'm thinking for safe of use.. I will shut down the board for a few minutes whiles do the import and then go live...

Ive tested a bunch of times already and the only error I'm getting is the avatars arent coming through...

Would associating users, I would like to merge the current admin account with the phpbb admin account.

What is the best way to do this, as i ddint quite understand the warning when going through the process.

Thanks
Mike

You have to merge admins after the import is done, ImpEx wont do that (as then ImpEx can't delete an admin).

Yup do it all again, when you re-run a module you need to redo the counters again.
