After a failed import yesterday from a 4.1.12 forum into a 4.1.12 forum I restored the database from before the import and got everything ready to run impex again.
Impex showed that every module worked perfectly -- I skipped step 2 -- all members, threads, and posts imported perfectly from Forum B into Forum A during the import.
After the import I updated the threads, forums and post cache.
The Forums from forum B are all present now on Forum A forum index. When I go to one of these imported Forum B forums in Forum A I see the proper thread index and usernames, post counts and etc. But when I click on the thread there are no posts showing. Also, when I go to a user record from an imported Forum B member in the Admin CP I see the member and his post count is correct. But when I click on "Find more posts from username" I get a response that there are no posts.
Yesterday when I tried the import I ended up with imported posts inserted into the wrong threads.
Any idea what could be causing these issues?
Forum A, which is the forum that's running the impex import has had an import once before but I'm cleaning the import ID and removing the session before I begin working on the import.
Any help would be appreciated.

Looking at the missing post url in the thread index for my posts I see a post ID of zero.
Here's one: http://www.fendertalk.com/forum/show...2113&p=0#post0
So, that's why I don't see any posts from the import. They all have a post ID of 0
Looking at the thread in the database I can see a post number -- but the post number belongs to some other post.
I also checked the database of Forum B and I can see that a previous import session is not evident.
It appears that Forum B a VB 4.1.12 pl2 forum cannot successfully be imported into Forum A another VB 4.1.12 forum via Impex.

Here's another bit of info -- the forum names on the two forums I'm merging are identical. Could that have anything to do with the problems?
I've made the forum categories all different. But the forums names under each category are identical.
Here's a screen capture to illustrate. You see that the category is Forum Administration on one and TF Forum Administration on the other. But you can also see that the forums under each category are identical. It is that way on all my forum sections on both Forum A and Forum B.
Also, on the TF Forum Administration category in the screen shot you can see threads and recent posts. The threads are there... the post are missing.
