    New Install not able to view old posts

    Just did an install of Vbulletin 5.23 at http://www.offshorebettor2.com

    My issue is that I cant view all the old posts that were imported into the database. They exist in the database but are not showing on my Vbulletin 5. The only post that shows up is the new post I made yesterday.

    I have also updated the thread counts and post counts.

    Anyone offer any suggestions?

      Need to know exactly what you did as well.

      You can't do a fresh install of vB5 and then 'import' posts from an older version into it. The database structures are completely different.

      You need to have your old version up and running, and carry out a full upgrade.

        Upgraded from 4.1.2
        Did the full upgrade with old database running. So you can see the topics of the posts but when I click on the posts they have the topic still there but the body of the post is empty

          Make sure your your language is set to ISO-8859-1
          Go to ADMINCP->Language and Phrases->Language Manager Then click edit settings.
          Look for HTML Character Set and change it to ISO-8859-1

          I had the same issue, my old site was using UTF-8. Changing this setting back to ISO-8859-1 (The default) made them come back for me.
