phpbb attachments should be converted, but they are by default only visible to regular members.. as a guest you can't see attachments.
So, this must be a permission issue.
Previously created admin user was dropped at conversion, so I tried to enter old one, from original forum. I entered (and system advised me to change password), but can't do anything. Even user's menu consist of just three links: "home", "help" and "logout". Can't post, can't change password, can't enter profile at all. New users are fine.
Somehow I need to create admin user or set admin rights to existed user, not using forum engine, by some sql command. Perhaps converter need to be nice to set default permissions or at least set admin for selected user account.

Now I'm happy :) Thank you, TE, I see attaches and can fix permissions for users.

Taking over administration on a site that is running  PHPBB: 3.0.7-PL1   - i dont know the upgrade history - but ive always ran SMF in the past, so installed a brand new SMF 2.0 RC4   Tonight.

Went and got the  PHPBB3 to SMF 2.0 Converter - and get the messages below when i Run it.  Any help would be great, getting a forum up and working would be great.

Hazin,
this seems to be a broken session, please check Common conversion errors.
