Hey @edL. Welcome to Discourse.

I’m sorry to report this, but the Xenforu importer doesn’t support attachments or Gallery images. You’ll need to modify the importer yourself to add support or hire a developer. If you are not afraid of a little Ruby (I wrote a couple importers before I really knew Ruby), you might check out the `vanilla_mysql`, `vbulletin`, or `answerhub` importers, which replace a `[attach]` tag with an attachment. If you’re a programmer, once you’ve done the `[attach]` it should be reasonably clear how you’d similarly do the `[gallery]` tags.

If you’d like to hire someone to do the work, you can post in #Marketplace and/or have a look at [Redirecting…](https://www.literatecomputing.com/discourse-migration/)
