phpBB2 to vBulletin Suite problems

[vbresults]

Why are 35K of my threads and 360K of my posts not mapped to a user? Is this another bad import?

What do you mean? Did you ollow the 'After the Import' instructions here:

Yes. I had 35K threads with empty firstpostusernames+userids (& lastpostusernames+userids), and 360K posts with empty postusersnames+userids.

After rebuilding forum and thread information many times, all I could do was map these user-orphaned threads and posts to a new user, then delete this user so the posts appeared to be posted to by guests.

Added my.cnf.

Assuming your system has the resources, double or trippling available memory buffers during an import can help.

[vbresults]

This is ridiculous. I am going to try updating to phpBB3 and then vB4; maybe the problem is specific to the phpBB2 modules.

[vbresults]

The import went through successfully after upgrading from phpBB2 to phpBB3, and then importing phpBB3 into vB4.

Good to hear
