[Unknown] - I think last time you looked at the phpBB2 converter you added the comment to the section that copies user avatars into SMF...
// Technically, these should go in attachments/, with each member's ID_ATTACH set properly...
There isn't an ID_ATTACH field in my smf_members table. Is this new in the next release?
ID_ATTACH is in the messages table.

ID_ATTACH is in the messages table.
I'd spotted that one, but I can't see a connection between user uploaded avatars and the messages table. Unknown's comment suggested that uploaded avatars go into the attachments directory (which would make sense), but I can't work out how you'd then find the uploaded avatar for a specific member.
Actually, the only ID_ATTACH is on the attachments table. There is no ID_ATTACH on the messages table. (or, there shouldn't be!)
Actually, in this case, for a variety of reasons... there's an ID_MEMBER on attachments. If it is not zero, it means this attachment is actually an avatar. It works just like an attachment (although it's always named avatar_ID_MEMBER.(png|jpeg)...). The ID_MSG should, of course, be 0.

You're right...there isn't an ID_ATTACH on the messages table. I'm starting to see imaginary things...should I see a psychiatrist ::)
Just to confirm...a gif avatar for user 1234 should be called avatar_1234.gif ??
No need to confirm. I've worked out what's required and the converter now correctly handles uploaded avatars :)
