I am struggling when importing from a Typepad blog.
I have the TP export file, which is then imported by Browsing to the relevant file. So far so good.
The first post appears, looking good, and so I click on "Import All" (238 posts) and .....nada....
The first time I got a tiny, unresizeable box which was the Dashboard Page.
The second time, the Import preview window switched to the Dashboard page, but still without the Imported posts listed.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, Mark

Tough to tell if you're doing anything wrong without looking over your shoulder. Can you send us the export file so we can try running it here to see if we have problems as well?

John,
It seems the limit for the import procedure is 99 posts. I was trying to import 238 posts.
So import needs to be in batches.

Mark - Very sorry for the inconvenience... I'll look into why this limit is imposed and see if we can't state this in the interface when you are doing the import. Sorry about that!

FYI, it turns out there is actually no limit on the number of posts that can be imported at one time... We're going to look into what might have caused this to happen to you.
