This is a server issue. You or your host will need to increase the 'max_allowed_packet' in my.cnf, then restart MySQL. I recommend at least 32M for this setting. If that doesn't work, try 64M.

[Syscomp]

is there any other way to use attachment without import to database ?

Thanks

Configure vBulletin to use the filesystem for attachments opposed to the database before the import.
