i merged 2 forums both VB 3.6.7 pl1
the target had 7500 members
and the source had 11,000 members
i followed all the modules by th ladder and all went fine except for some phrases.Comment

There is an issue, that if they are valid users then deleting them will remove their posts as well, though if ImpEx didn't merge them on email address then they are different users though there was a clash on the username, i.e. it already existed.
So it's either a case of merge the users, delete the user accounts, or delete the users and their posts ?Comment

well i checked 5 accounts and every imported user had the same name.
so they are duplicates on the forum and i should either merge them or delete? the imported do have posts in some of the accounts.Comment
-
Well if they have posts it depends on if they are the same user, or duplicate names or have the same email etc.Comment
-
they are the same user for sure cause alot of these names are duplicates cause it was an affiliated forum.Comment

If they have the same email and are the same user, then you should merge on email during the user module that will remove a lot of the duplicates.
I'm having trouble following what your saying, though if they are the same then merge them during the user module.Comment

ok so i should run the user module one more time?
and some emails arent the same as their other account.
example:
vinny - email: [email protected]
imported_vinny - email: [email protected]
will it matter?Comment

If the emails are different, then they won't match, that is the one field they match on.
Though it will match the ones where they are, and where you have :
vinny - email: [email protected]
imported_vinny - email: [email protected]
and your sure they are the same person :

If you want the posts associated with those users to be deleted as well sure.Comment
