Anyway, you'd still likely need to follow the after the import rules.

Rebuild the thread, and forum counters.

I tried impex several times... 5 million posts, and gave up after waiting as long as 5 days just for the posts and, it wasn't even halfway thru the posts.

140,000 users took 48 hours. It flat out died so many times I just said the heck with it and wrote my own in C.

140,000 users added in 11 minutes, 5 million posts in 2 1/2 hours.

Are you saying you want a fake count number?

no, I don't want to use a fake number - I have over 5 million posts. Do you know where that value is stored (in what table)?

If I can just edit that number, I won't have to wait for hours for the 140,000 threads and 200 forums to process (assuming I have to do the thread and forum counters as mentioned below)

tried that... it updated the post counts for all members (4 hours runtime), but not that total at the bottom of the index page
