@nneonneo - I've sussed out why the second run without the ADMINSID had less posts and topic converted. The reason was some of the forum categories has restricted permissions for non admin users. I removed these permission restrictions via the forum ACP and rerun the script, again without a ADMINSID and all seems well.nneonneo wrote:@a1topdog: That error means that user emails cannot be converted. However, everything else should still be OK.
You can try regenerating the ADMINSID if you want to convert user emails. But, otherwise, you should still use the admin account to convert since it seems to be working better for you.
Now onto the next stage of converting to phpbb2 to 3.......
