Hi Rick,

Glad to hear the forum ID won't matter for my installation. smile

The post body that's being rejected is about 68kb, although the post in the old system was exactly 65k (which, I've just found, is the limit for TEXT - I'm more used to MSSQL and thought TEXT meant <=2GB). The reason for the overflow looks like it's because old <img src=""> tags are being converted to [img]url[/img] and the post is nothing but thousands of emoticons (bleh).

I'm OK with truncating this particular post, but there may be other long ones in the system that are legitimate. Do I have to truncate them as well, or can I change the default_body field type to mediumtext? If I have to truncate them I'll probably just change the importer to do it for me (unless you plan on doing that in an importer update any time soon).

Thanks for your help!
