Is this possible?

To put the posts in as guests and then use a script to automatically convert the uids in the case where the name actually exists?

What if there are two threads by the same guest? Both threads can't have the same IDs.

In the database there is a username field and a user id field.

I'm saying anyone who calls himself 'jack' gets one id, and anyone who calls himself 'joe' gets another id.

Basically convert guests to users.

I want to import posts without having to match the user ids up.

It's possible, but you'd have to make a plugin for this.

Oh I see. I like your idea but as frostschutz said, you need a plugin for this. You can request a plugin the in Plugin and Code Modifications section or hire a PHP coder from the Requests/Services/Jobs forum.
