XF 1.5 Xenforo avatars after converting from phpBB.

[splooge]

I've converted an old(er) phpBB site to Xenforo. The avatars didn't get converted over -- I'm ok with that! -- is there any way to replace the default avatar with the first letter of the persons forum name for all existing users? Currently I get the '?', the 'male sign' or the 'female sign' avatar, but want the 'letter' of their first name instead, which I'm wondering if it even works in 1.5

Is this something I can do in XF 1.5? Or is it an exclusive feature to 2.x?

Just curious, I have no problem updating to 2.x.

That feature was introduced in 2.0.

Thanks for the reply @Jeremy P!

Is there an option in 2.0 that will allow me to regenerate all avatars for all users? 99% of them are broken anyways.

Yeah, you can use the 'Batch update users' tool to remove avatars for all users. This tool is available in 1.x as well.

Hey I just wanted to thank you for the info and add a little follow-up. As soon as I migrated from XF1 to XF2 everybody automagically had their 'letter' avatar. Thanks again @Jeremy P
