So I just recently imported my vBulletin forum and went live. The only issue for me is that I am missing threads and such. Some major threads too, not ones from years ago (which I wouldn't have minded as much.
At first, I thought the decrease in posts and threads was like members (because they don't count if they are banned), but then I had members asking me where their threads are. With that, I tried re-importing my database multiple times to get back these threads. For some of them, I was able to get back certain threads, but it only overloaded the server because I did the import multiple times. Now, everyone's post count is three times what it should be, I am still missing about 45,000 posts (rough estimate since I realize that no matter what all posts should count towards the post count in XenForo. If that is the case, 45,000 makes sense since my Spam area was 33,000 posts big and I had 407,000 posts in vBulletin and I have only 395,000 posts now).
With all this said, what should I do?
