I just did a merge. It was mostly successful except for a database error during the 'attachments' section. I am checking into that with my hosting provider.

The REAL problem is my own fault; I saw that my username was Reserector_vbulletin3_import12 instead of Reserector. I opened the Admin CP and saw that both accounts existed, but the Reserector account had no posts.
Stupid me, I tried to merge the two accounts, planning to fix the name after merging them. Now, I can't logon as an admin. What can I do?
I was able to get back on by entering my email address and recieved a random password. I followed the instructions and all is well. Panic moment has passed. :\
open mysqladmin

update mybb_users set usergroup=4 where username='Reserector';

You have to change the table name if your prefix is not "mybb_" .
Thank you. I will do that. You have been a big help.
