Have even more posts/threads been lost? I know that about 20+ hours of posts were lost when UBB was upgraded to vBulletin, but what's up with the recent deletions? I had about 1620 posts, but now I only have about 1580. What's up with that?

Something having to do with old posts you contributed being deleted? Just an idea. It depends how vB calcs posts.

This could have something to do with the double posts.

I am informing VB admin.

I am also wondering this: when we "crop" the old posts out of the system, will that also affect the amount of posts? I'll never get past 2000 posts if it works that way Sad

I believe if the double posts problem is fixed, then you will have exactely the number of posts you should have.

I believe that whoever did the import process should not have opened these forums with it this way, and should have tried to re-import the posts once more to solved this IMO.

I noticed a discrepancy with the Database forum.
On the summary page, it says "172 Threads". When I go to that forum, I see only 4 threads.
Am I doing something wrong, or is there a problem there?

Maybe you have it set to show threads from the past 30 days or something. The main page shows the number of threads throughout the whole existance of the board.

My mistake. My threads were set to "Forum Default" which was "Last Day" in the Database forum. I changed it to "All Threads" and now I can see all of them. Thanks!
