Importing from vbulletin 3.* feed imports only users.
I used the php tool provided to export my vbulletin site. it seemed to work fine (though I dont understand why it can't save to a file instead of displaying it, mine was bloody huge).
the file will not import properly.
i managed to get it to import without errors... but the problem is that the feed was read incorrectly. it looks like every line was interpreted as 'users' and noting else was imported. no discussions, categories anything.
can anyone shed some light on this? anyone seen it before?

more fail.
I used the data on the missing table found here:

no dice. i got it past that part and then got another silly error about the admin user not being in the import set:

its DEFINITELY correct. I used the same password for everything. i'm VERY sure.
anyone here on the dev team got any word on how bloody difficult this is to import?

a note to people wanting to import using this tool:
on a mac, in ANY browser the exported file does NOT import at all. It's so full of errors (possibly due to character encoding and misplaced carriage returns and all that) it caused me to waste a lot of time on it. Use the file it creates every time. Save yourself some hassle.
