if you changed the upload folder from it's default location then old posts will still link to the uploads in your old folder.

Version 9 now has the upload folder hardcoded to the uploads folder found within the forum directory. Any new uploads will be added to this folder.

You can not change this location in version 9 as it was found that doing so often coursed errors and prevented the new upload system from working correctly.

The strange thing is that the uploaded avatars will display in the new forum.

Yes you can.

Use the database upgrade tools in the zip file that come with version 9 to upgrade your database. Remove your old forum, then upload version 9.

To prevent your images getting lost like the guy above, leave your old upload folder where it is with the old uploaded files in.
