importing comments

[cellio]

Hi again,

Can you tell that LJ just messed up again? :-)

I just imported my journal, with comments. According to my profile page, I now have 27,374 comments (and I maybe had 20 before the import).

Um, where are they? They don't seem to be attached to the entries. Is this a "data is big, check back tomorrow" kind of thing, or did something go wrong? (The import page reports success.) Thanks!

DW claims to have received all the comments. Perhaps it just takes a while for the database to wire them up correctly? (My user profile page shows a large number of comments and the import page says comments were imported successfully, but they're not attached to my entries. They're, I dunno, hanging out in dark alleys in the DB or something, I guess.)

Hmm! Sorry, now we're past my knowledge. I'm with you, that does look a little odd. Okay: the FAQ entry on importing a journal is here and it says you'll get an email when the import is finished. I know your profile is showing the 27K comments; have you received the email saying they're done? If not, it may simply be that that job hasn't processed yet.

If you have received an email saying the import is finished and you still don't have comments, you may need to report it, and you'd do that here.

Sorry not to have been more help, and good luck!

Oh! Thanks; I did read that FAQ entry before starting the import, but had forgotten about the promised email. I haven't gotten any email yet, so I'll assume DW is still thinking.

Thanks for the help!
