Imported from vBulletin, Posts Didn't Import

Hi, I have set up a new Simple:Press installation using the latest version of Simple:Press, and I used the SP Importer plugin to do an import from vBulletin.

The import moved over all of the members and forums, however it did not move over any of the posts.  All threads have the posts listed at "0" and they don't show up in the database.

How can I import the posts from vBulletin?  And why wouldn't it import those?  I've tried deleting everything, re-installing, and re-importing multiple times with no luck.

Please help!

It's version 4.1.12 of vBulletin.

I have not tried changing utf-8 options although I will attempt that today.
