Okie. Here's the most current release. Also, I will be pruning all the older versions for two reasons (I don't want to make vBulletin's database too big, and I don't want people downloading a bad version). Anyways, this adds one feature, and no bug fixes.

The added feature is the addition of the option to import sent PMs also. Also, you may be wondering why the counters bug (the one about thread and post counts being the same). I have looked over this for at least an hour, and have came to the conclusion that this is not a bug. I have been able to recreate the bug by following the last instructions wrong. The threads and posts counters appear the same when you update in this order: users,forums,threads. They appear right when updated in this order: users,threads,forums. I will explain why:

When you update user data, that basicially updates when the user last posted and stuff like that. When you update threads, it counts all the posts inside each thread and the lastposter, and updates the thread. When you import forums, it reads only the thread data. It does NOT read any post data. When a thread is imported, it's replycount is set to 0. It is done so because it saves many queries. When you update users,forums,threads, then the forums look at the replycounts in the thread table, and think that all that's in that forum is single-post threads. Then, when you update threads, all the 0s in the replycounts are changed to their proper number, so it appears to be a bug. But it is not. It is a failure to read the directions...

That is the conclusion I came to. If you don't understand that paragraph before this one, that's okay. It's just technical stuff.

Anyways, test this version. Ced, try updating counters in the right order. It is confusing, because vBulletin has it ordered the wrong way. Maybe I'll submit a bug report

Send me all your feedback.

Also, ced, if this problem persists, I will need you to send me your database. I have a cable modem, so that is no problem. Don't worry about size. I don't care if it is 100MB...just send it
