You can't import your old members table now? Also, did you try to do large upgrade?

I'm afraid that i'm out of ideas for now, please wait for someone else to answer here.

I am not really willing to import old members table... most of them were spam bots and that's one of the reasons i have installed a fresh copy of SMF on new hosting and created a new database.

Large upgrade? isn't that part of new forum installation? please forgive me if that's a dumb question.

Thank you for your time mate. i will wait for someone to look and give me some suggestions.

Sounds to me that you now have a total mismatch and thats where your problem lies.

Restore the old database and files from your previous hosting and include the members table this time. Once restored remove/delete unwanted members/posts with normal methods. Don't try and be clever by omiting the members table as there are too many dependancies involved that link to other areas. Then tidy up and upgrade if required with new files.

If you are not willing to import the old members table then I suspect you're on your own which is why you've not had any recent support responses.
