This is a peer support forum and we Volunteers ie. your fellow bloggers cannot and do not provide explanations that can't be found in support documentation or in forum threads. I searche and came with without an answer. Perhaps there is a queue of folks waiting in line for their exports to be processed.

These are computers, right? I exported the contents of one blog (this is a free, wordpress.com hosted blog). This took a matter of seconds. I went to another (another free, wordpress.com hosted blog), with a different name, and imported it. Here, I'm told that I will receive an email when it's done, and if it's not done within 24 hours I can send a message to inquire about it.

Huh? 24 hours? I'm sitting here working on this thing, and I've had to export and import a couple of times, and it's enormously frustrating. I have to plan my day so that I can work on something else, and try to explain to people why it's not done yet.

It would really help a lot if some explanation for the wait could be given. I really don't get it! Thanks!
