Why force them to update. After I migrated to Threads 7, Here's how I did it. First, I established a new avatar directory in my new Threads 7 setup. Then I copied all my avatars from teh old install to the new one. Then say my original avatars on my 6.5 install were located in: "http://www.myforum.com/threads/images/avatars/useravatars"
And on my new threads 7 install my new user avatar dir is:
"http://www.myforum.com/forum/images/avatars/default/useravatars"
I simply ran this querry on my NEW threads DB
UPDATE `ubbt_USER_PROFILE` SET `USER_AVATAR` = REPLACE(`USER_AVATAR`,'/threads/images/avatars/','/forum/images/avatars/default/');
And after that query, all my users avatar paths were updated to reflect the correct new avatar dirs and they work fine. Hope this helps.
