good reminder for me there. I was limiting to 400 but I need to export 3000.

I'll comment that bit out...

edit That limits to 400 posts so if you have more posts than that you will need to change the limit or up the number

Thanks Rob, I did change the limit and it worked! I also have sh404sef component running, is there a way to get the links from this instead of Joomla's SEF URLs? I've tried ways around this in Disqus's admin tools to do a redirect crawler which works in the admin panel however the threads don't actually show up on the site.

As well is there a way to change the SQL query to filter from a category?
