We moved server and everyone's avatar settings have the old domain name in them. Is it possible to perform a command or something to simply turn everyone's avatars off to force them to update their settings?

We don't want to disable everyone's avatars, just make them update.

Thankyou.

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.
