Loved Migrating Kunena from Joomla 2.5.2X to Joomla 3.3

Migrating Kunena from Joomla 2.5.2X to Joomla 3.3 was created by colin99
I thought I would share this with the Kunena user base -
I got a component called SP (which is a migration tool [commercial])
for migrating from Joomla 2.5.2X to Joomla 3.3X --
and it seems to handle Kunena quite well -
Is a simple matter of doing a a.) NO SAMPLE DATA install of Joomla 3.3.X
on ones hosting site, b.) Installing Kunena on the Joomla 3.3.X site,
c.) making sure there is little or no sample data installed, d.) installing the component/extension and then e.)
following the simple instructions for migrating users, content, categories, etc...
and even migrating the db entries of Kunena.
The migration went well - took around 10 minutes for various steps.
The only migration bug that I found with Kunena was the fact that existing
users cannot see their existing avatars NOR can they edit their profile NOR can they edit their avatars.
The error message comes up: "User already exists..."
I can create a new user in Kunena and add an avatar and edit everything.
If anyone wants more details on this migration tool, just ask me or search for it over at the Joomla site in migration tools. I highly recommend it.
Migrating my forums was the most mission critical thing to me and I am so happy this went as well as it did.

There's probably a very good reason for this, for example see Users are unable to change or upload avatar images (Gravatar plugin is enabled) . Maybe that's what has happened in your case?colin99 wrote: The only migration bug that I found with Kunena was the fact that existing users cannot see their existing avatars NOR can they edit their profile NOR can they edit their avatars.

FIXED!
In doing the migration from Joomla 2.5.x to Joomla 3.x
it created an identical user, let's say USERX with one ID of XX
and another identical USERX with an ID of XXX
I did not know that was possible with Joomla to have two users with the
identical userid!
Anyhow --
Onwards!

I'm not sure that it's possible (in a pure database sense) to have two user accounts with the same user id. It is theoretically possible to have two user accounts with the same username but the Joomla registration procedure prevents this from happening in practice.
Here's the structure of the index for the Joomla user table that illustrates the technical impossibility of having two accounts with the same user id but the technical possibility of having two accounts with the same username (even though, in practice, this is highly improbable).
