Imported vBulletin 3.8 site into my IPB site, lots of "There are no posts to show" issues

[Ohio Riders]

I have an interesting problem. After importing a large vBulletin 3.8 site into my IPB site (2M ish posts), many newly imported threads appear within their forum, with post counts, dates, topic starter, etc, but when you click you get "There are no posts to show". 

Example: 

 

 

Any ideas? 

In the system log I see this:

Another example, as I thought maybe the apostrophe in the title had something to do with it:

Soooo..... This isn't good I assume.

There's a ton of these. Doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to it. Looks like the converters silently failed, although it shows the conversion was successful.

The first thing I see in your erorr log there is that you have 3rd party items loading up which are known not to work in the latest release of the platform (Rules for example). I would advise on not running any at all while you perform your conversion.

I was worried about that. Trying again with all 3rd apps/plugins removed. 

In past releases, didn't the applications page tell you it was disabled if incompatible? This latest version doesn't appear to do that anymore. Maybe I'm crazy.

Uninstalled all 3rd party apps and plugins, ran the import again, worked like a charm. Weird that it didn't error or anything. Just a silent failure. But I'll take it. Thanks.
