Notes

Note #1 – phpBB User Avatars

The phpBB avatar filename used in phpBB user avatars is imported and stored in the wp_usermeta table as ‘_bbp_phpbb_old_user_avatar_filename’. phpBB stores user avatars in /phpbbv3/images/avatars/upload/ and with some tom foolery I am quite sure these can be imported into WP’s media library and with the right plugin enabled quite easily.

Note #2 – phpBB custom user profile fields stored in wp_usermeta.

The following custom profile fields are imported into wp_usermeta and as you build your community with WordPress and bbPress, maybe BuddyPress also this should help down the road in converting these values to whatever plugins and profile extensions you decide to use.
