Missing posts & strange characters after merge
I did try that but the posts didn't reappear.
I've deleted everything and am trying again. I have now imported posts without conversion to UTF-8 (so that might get rid of the funny characters).
I am now stuck on importing avatars and attachments. I have told the merge system to continue automatically until the task is completed, but it just sits there after importing the first page saying "please wait" and goes no further. Last time I clicked the "next" button to progress through the pages but ended up with no avatars and no attachments.
I looked at the post you mentioned, but my forums are both on the same server, and I don't get any error messages.
