I have reinstalled the v3 RPM again to my system, and used one of my original backups from that same version. In 3.23 there is no 'collation' field.. I wonder if that is the problem??

Other alternatives worth pursuing: * Add the BINARY flag to the field - avatardata MEDIUMTEXT BINARY, for example. * Use a different collation, preferably one that's not case insensitive (the 'ci' part of the collation) * Use latin1_bin on the new DB (and you might need to use _latin1_bindata instead of just data when doing inserts) http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Charset-literal.html * Force the collation type, using the COLLATION keyword, as in http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Charset-collate.html I pasted a data table from the bad avatar and the good avatar to a file differential program, there was no differential at all that the system found.. If you want to send me (directly, rather than via the list) one of the records, as taken from both the bad and good versions, I could take a look for you. The binary files differ, so I'm not too sure what data is being used when you did the paste-and-compare. I'm not too sure where or what to do to change this information?

Re: Trouble w/ mysqldump
I am confused over the much smaller DataBase, but also of the corrupted avatars and file attachments (I've attached examples).. I did some research using mysqladmin, and the 'attachment' and the 'customavatar' tables are exactly the same size in both databases, but the entire DB is about 10MB smaller on the 4.1 dump (according to mysqladmin) But the difference in my acutal dump files is 70MB.. I was told by vBulletin that they think it has somthing to do with the way mysql 4.1.X handles tables with languages and character encoding? Thanks!
