[Forum] Upgrade and Custom User Avatars

Sun 3 Jan '10, 11:27pm

Quick question for the pros. I am putting a plan together to go from 3.8.x to 4.x, I might delete everything from my /forums directory and then install the upgrade on a fresh set of uploaded VB files (I would like to get rid of 4+ years worth of miscellaneous orphaned files).

That being said, here is my question: Where are the user's uploaded avatars stored, is it in the database or are they stored in one of the vb directories? What about Sig Pics and Album Photos?

Only you know where your avatars and sig pics and attachments and group icons are stored. Look in the admin cp, click Avatars > User Picture Storage Type and your will see where your avatars, profile pictures, and sig pictures are. Do the same for Attachments > Attachment STorage Type and Groups > Group Icon Storage Type.

Please don't PM or VM me for support - I only help out in the threads.

Avatars and Attachments not recognised.

by UKCobra

The advice given here beforehand to copy the attachments and avatars etc was done before I started the upgrade.
I have copied the files back to the same locations, but the forum is not seeing them....
