you mean personal messages?
I was not aware, I can fix that when I get a second. My manager is off today and shit was blowing up at 5am.
The FW import is going again - think putty timed out because my computer went to sleep. I fixed that
-
No, I mean posts of any kind.
I started a thread named "testing". That is the only thread I see any posts in. Maybe the database is still being indexed or something.

I didn't mean for the site to be open. It's still importing and then stats need to be run to make that all work.
Shut it down.

Hope I didn't screw anything up by posting there.

I don't think so

Rookie mistake, tsk tsk

ETA for site being back up is 3 hours
-
But to make the comeback exciting, I'm going to put a big countdown timer - and count down 48 hours!
Won't that be fun?

Asshole.

How come we don't have little crabs on flame warriors?

This is what I'm doing, in case you are curious. These steps are after the forum was reinstalled and the database fixed.
Migration via Command Line (CLI)#
For forums with more than 250,000 posts, we recommend that you run the import on the command line rather than via the ACP.
Note
This article is intended for customers who run the software independently on their own server or web hosting.
Requirements#
SSH access is required
PHP extension must be installed as CLI variant on the server
Ideally, Screen is also installed on the server (the process continues even if the internet connection is interrupted)
An SSH client such as PuTTY or PuTTyTray is required (http://www.putty.org respectively https://puttytray.goeswhere.com)
Starting the Import#
Connect to the server via PuTTY and change to the installation directory of the WoltLab Suite installation. If GNU Screen is installed on your server, you can start the CLI import as follows: screen -S import php cli.php
Alternatively, please use the command: php cli.php
If you are using GNU Screen, you can always switch to the started session afterwards with screen -x import.
Inputs in the Import Wizard#
Username: Enter your username.
Password: Enter your password.
After successful login enter import.
Select data source: Here will be asked what Importer you want to use. Enter the appropriate number.
Import the selected data: Now the data is requested that we want to import. So we start with 1 for users and then say 0 for all. So we choose one by one.
Behavior for colliding user acounts: Depending on whether it is a fresh install or already have users, they should be merged during Import.
Database credentials:: Please enter the login information to the source database. These are available in the configuration file of the old forum (e.g. config.inc.php).
Table prefix: When importing from a Burning Board 3.x, the prefix is eg wbb1_1_, phpBB usually use phpbb_ etc.
The correct table prefix can be looked up at any time in phpMyAdmin.
Installation path: The absolute server path to the old forum must be entered here.
Now the import starts. Depending on the server configuration and data size this may take a while.
Rebuild Data#
After you have finished the data import, you must rebuild the data. This can be done with the following commands in the CLI session:
worker wcf\\system\\worker\\LikeRebuildDataWorker
worker wbb\\system\\worker\\PostRebuildDataWorker
worker wbb\\system\\worker\\ThreadRebuildDataWorker
worker wbb\\system\\worker\\BoardRebuildDataWorker
worker gallery\\system\\worker\\ThumbnailRebuildDataWorker (Only if the gallery is installed)
worker gallery\\system\\worker\\AlbumRebuildDataWorker (Only if the gallery is installed)
worker gallery\\system\\worker\\ImageRebuildDataWorker (Only if the gallery is installed)
worker blog\\system\\worker\\BlogRebuildDataWorker (Only if the blog is installed)
worker blog\\system\\worker\\BlogEntryRebuildDataWorker (Only if the blog is installed)
worker calendar\\system\\worker\\EventRebuildDataWorker (Only if the calendar is installed)
worker calendar\\system\\worker\\EventDateRebuildDataWorker (Only if the calendar is installed)
worker filebase\\system\\worker\\FilebaseRebuildDataWorker (Only if the filebase is installed)
worker filebase\\system\\worker\\FileVersionRebuildDataWorker (Only if the filebase is installed)
worker filebase\\system\\worker\\FilebaseReviewRebuildDataWorker (Only if the filebase is installed)
worker wcf\\system\\worker\\ConversationMessageRebuildDataWorker
worker wcf\\system\\worker\\ConversationRebuildDataWorker
worker wcf\\system\\worker\\PageRebuildDataWorker
worker wcf\\system\\worker\\ArticleRebuildDataWorker
worker wcf\\system\\worker\\PollRebuildDataWorker
worker wcf\\system\\worker\\UserActivityPointUpdateEventsWorker
worker wcf\\system\\worker\\UserRebuildDataWorker
worker wcf\\system\\worker\\UserActivityPointItemsRebuildDataWorker
worker wcf\\system\\worker\\AttachmentRebuildDataWorker
worker wcf\\system\\worker\\MediaRebuildDataWorker
worker wcf\\system\\worker\\StatDailyRebuildDataWorker
worker wbb\\system\\worker\\PostSearchIndexRebuildDataWorker
worker wcf\\system\\worker\\CommentRebuildDataWorker
worker wcf\\system\\worker\\CommentResponseRebuildDataWorker
worker wbb\\system\\worker\\ArticleThreadsRebuildDataWorker
worker wcf\\system\\worker\\SitemapRebuildWorker
This rebuild usually takes about as long as the import itself.
