Hi, I’ve installed development enviroment on my Ubuntu local machine. I did it importing steps, it’s work but there are some problems. My Mybb forum has 9k user and 300k post. Posts are seems successfully imported. But many users not imported (Specially who using space character in the username …

You can run the script multiple times and it won’t cause any trouble. Also, the script recognizes what has been imported already and skips it. The following runs will be significantly faster.
