wBB: Guest posts will not be imported
ImpEx doesn't import guest posts (009.php) from WBB, you get this error:
Invalid post object, skipping.userid
PS: Actually most systems fail with this error if posts are not assigned to an user :)

AFAIK the WBB import has never been changed to allow for guest posts to be imported.

If this is needed, then please open a support ticket with the relevant access details.

I already gave the user an advice how to change the code so that his missing 16,000 posts will be imported (posts from deleted users etc.).

Why not update the ImpEx system like Jerry has done it here?

I actually prefer to do this with a ticket, as we can then test the changes made, instead of simply adding it to the next release in the hope it will not break anything.

I have updated the importer to allow guest posts.
