 * Hello,
    So I am having trouble upgrading to 3.2 and I want to make a clean brake.
   I have a 3.2 clean install running and I want to migrate my 3.1.4 data to the
   new site.
 * I exported my posts to an xml file using the export tool. But how to I get all
   my media library items (images used for posts) out of my 3.1.4 site and imported
   into my new site so I do not get lots of missing images?
 * Thanks,

 * Download your uploads folder from the original instal via FTP and upload it to
   your new install, with any sub-folders intact. Be sure to keep the folder name
   the same as the the one you put in your Settings > Media area on both installs.
