I have a question. I'm in the middle of a test import from PHPBB2 and I've noticed that all the users now have new user ids and the original user ids are stored in the user table as importuserid. Are these new userid's permanent? If so, can I restore the original IDs? I'm in the process of porting the hacks we have installed and many of them rely on the original user.

Yes, the new userids are permanent. There is no way to restore the original IDs.Steve Machol, former vBulletin Customer Support Manager (and NOT retired!)

Couldn't I just create a query that will restore the userid's then update the forum counters?Ken Iovino

No, if it were that simple then I would have mentioned it. The userid field is scattered among many tables. You would have to update all of these table for each userid.Steve Machol, former vBulletin Customer Support Manager (and NOT retired!)

Thanks, I was able to just update the old userids in our hacks to the new userids using a simple query_read.Ken Iovino
