I did the import on two of my sites recently, and on both of them the post counts for my users were reset to 0 for everyone.

1) Why where post counts not included in the import?

2) How can I now import the post counts from the old DB into the new one?

Thanks.

Should have been more specific... Upgraded both sites from 654 to 7.0. Everything else came over no problem except the post counts.

rick has a fix for this, just pm him letting him know you need the post count fix, and the email you want it sent to, and he will send it your way.

well, at least thats what he did for me

but remeber that this fix count all postings in the new board and dont reflect the old posting counter. In the old board the user may have already deleted post witch are not imported and not countet. So the new post counter will be lower.

I have some user who complain about this and I have to review the old databse and set the counter by hand in the new database.

Is it possible to update the importer to bring over the old post count?

That way the system would only have to grab a number for each user rather than recount all posts ever made.

The latest importer in the members area does bring over the user's original post count. The early importer had a typo in it where it did not.
