Hello,

Sorry for being new here.

I’m a former phpbb3 forum owner and I decided to import phpbb3 to discourse. The importer ran successfully. I even found a bug and it was fixed by our forum user, [PR#5133](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/5133) sent. I did enable all 3 options about avatars in settings.yml

After the import, I **immediately** launch sidekiq, puma and nginx to preview my new forum. And I noticed the avatars of my forum users imported are still lettered. I thought I should see their old avatars from the old forum. 😭 😭 As the importer produced nothing wrong, I am confused.

**Does it act like that because my sidekiq jobs are not finished?** Or there’s anything deeper? I ran `avatars:refresh` and `avatars:clean` but no luck

Thanks for any hint! 😍 😍

Marguerite
