Hi stylezjoey and welcome to SMF!

I did a bit of searching and found this, particularly:

QuoteProblem: Conversion says it finished successfully, but nothing got converted.
Info: The cause of this problem is that your host has session.save_path to a non writeable directory.
Fix: Ask your host to change this setting in php.ini and use the correct path or if you are with Powweb they allow you to change settings in php.ini file. There change the path to the session dir that resides in your site's root dir.

Could that have something to do with it, maybe?

Go to Admin -> Maintenance -> Forum Maintenance
Click "Run Task Now" under "Find and Repair All Errors"

If that finds anything, tell it to fix the errors.

Does that solve your problem at all?
