In this case, the only way to fix this is to manually upload the images.

Although you can't hover over the third pic to get the URL, which is weird.

In this post: http://urbanedgeny.wordpress.com/2012/08/27/pork-slope-chef-dale-taldes-new-and-rocking-park-slope-bar-restaurant/ the first, third and fourth pics are on WordPress, but the second and fifth are on Posterous.

This is why I don't really want to have to fix this manually, if we can find another solution. We have 209 blog posts, and most have 4-6 photos.

It's now been over 48 hours, and I still see some photos that when you hover on them, they are linking to Posterous and haven't been imported. Seems to be the same photos, based on the sample I spot-checked. Any suggestions?

I guess if you think that's the best option, we can try it.

If so, would you mind if we completely emptied it so you can try the import again?

The only thing we could try at this point besides that is to empty the entire blog and try the import again.

Since then, we've made many more posts on the Posterous blog, so we want everything moved over. There doesn't appear to be an option to import only specified posts, so we just start the whole import process again, figuring at worst, if it imported the same posts, we could delete the duplicates while gaining all of the new posts. However, we can't seem to get the importing to work now... so maybe clearing the blog and starting over would work.

Is http://urbanedgeny.wordpress.com/ the blog you're referring to, and does it only contain posts imported from this Posterous blog?

I'm wondering if I should delete all the previous posts that were imported (there were 149 posts) and just start over. Perhaps those posts already imported are causing problems.

As of 4pm on Tuesday, Sept 4th, it still says it's importing. What do we need to do to finish this?
