post table and thread table question

[Rastus]

As I have upgraded over time, first from phpbb to Vbulletin and then later versions of Vbulletin, I have noticed some posts from the early years are missing in my forum. I've looked in the DB and I can see all posts from post #1 in the post table. However the thread table begins with threadid 4307. Is there anyway to fix this so all post will show up, or what would be a way to fix this so I can have all the posts back in the forum? my current install of Vbulletin is 3.6.8

thanks

It sounds like those posts have threadids that no longer exist in the database. Unfortunately I don't know of any way to fix this at this point. Sorry.

that is not the answer I was looking for

what about writing a query or to add those threadid's back into the DB? Would that fix it or crash the DB? I can setup my test site and try it, but if you know offhand it would save me the time and trouble of testing it.

You can certainly try that. I suggest posting over at www.vbulletin.org for help in writing such a script.
