ok i have done a time travel and installed VB 2.3.5
lets see if i can do...

OK ..
the conversion was perfect..
its was all step by step..
good work on the importer/update guies..

but few problems..
1. None of the attachments were imported (does not matter to me)
2. None of the avatars were imported (infact it gives the 'not found image' link on every users post, i do not wish to import avtars at all; so how do i do that?)
3. There is no "Private Message" Option in the forum and i believe none of the PMs were imported (ya its set ON from admin option)

Thanx

Backup your database first. Then run these queries to remove the avatars:

DELETE FROM avatar;
DELETE FROM customavatar;

Then run repair.php.
