How do I get to all my old pmails/photos/notifications?

If you had more than 100 private messages at the time of the import, only your most recent 100 remain. This limit was considered to be sufficient for the vast majority of users.

If you had any private messages from users that were deleted, they were not imported as it is never a good idea to flood a new database with broken relational links.

The old gallery data still exists and an import solution for the new gallery is being worked on.

If 100 was the cut off then how come I saw 247 transferred over?

Once again, is the data somewhere or some disk? Can I have a raw dump of those pmails emailed to me? I don't know what my user id was, but I'm sure it won't be hard to find out.

Thanks in advance.

I can only assume the import was run a second time when the site was formally transferred to vbulletin. The original import limit was set to 100.

As for a raw dump, that's not up to me. However, I don't think it's likely. If you make an exception for one, then you can't refuse the next. There are 6000 odd users. I'm sure Wayne has a lot better things to do than manually make database dumps on a per user basis for anybody asking.

Sorry but I don't know how the importing and transfer all works as I've never played with forum software, even though I do software, but if it was run one more time (in order to get over 100), is it possible to have it be run yet one more time to get all of them?

If not, is the database still around? Or are there multiple databases/files for each user?

Thanks in advance for the explanations.

Rerunning the import is not a good idea at this stage. It would essentially destroy all the PMs for everybody that have been sent since the site was formally transferred. Nor can it be run on a per-user basis.

I don't really have the time right now to write a more sophisticated version. There were all the old links to the original site's own forum to fix. Now people want their images back. Then there's the news archive.
