XF 2.1 Moving from vB to xF

[mjda]

I recently bought a forum that is running on vB and am in the process of re-writing the addons to work with xF, but I have many questions before I upgrade so I'll ask them all here as they come to me.

Here goes my first few questions.

Right now this forum doesn't allow members to choose their own avatars. They have to select from ones that have already been uploaded to the site. As far as I know xF doesn't have an option for this, which is fine, but will xF still import those avatars for the members who have already selected theirs?

Also, this forum is making use of vB albums. Is there an importer for XFMG to import those albums?

If the avatars have been saved to the member profile as with a normal avatar, then they will be imported.
If they are somehow just referenced in a gallery, then no.

Yes, XFMG can import from VB albums.

There's also an addon that allows you to offer your own available Avatars: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/xen-soluce-avatar-gallery.6952/

Then you can just disable their ability to upload one, so that replicates the same Avatar functions right?
