Re: User Profile UPLOAD AVATER Is Gone
-----------------------------------
I'll start with letting you know my ACP settings:

[quote]Avatar Storage Path 
Path under your phpBB root dir, e.g. images/avatars = images/avatars/users
	
Avatar Gallery Path 
Path under your phpBB root dir for pre-loaded images, e.g. images/avatars/gallery = images/avatars/gallery[/quote]

Here is the error generated when I try to UPLOAD AVATAR FROM YOUR MACHINE:

[quote]Warning: copy(./images/avatars/users/1662776893462c138dc8533.gif) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /www/5gbfree.com/c/w/x/cwxtra/htdocs/forum/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 288

I don't know what all that jargon means......

NOW...for the SET AS AVATAR link...everything seems to work as it should (to a point). By "work, I mean that the page changes and I get this message:

[quote]Your profile avatar has been updated.
Click here to go to image category.
Click here to go to image.[/quote]

....but still no avatar displayed in my PROFILE or beside any of my posts.

***NOTE*** When I installed FAP I followed your guide/instruction posting...I chose to ignore the part about the CGI-BIN stuff. Could that be causing the problem? I don't quite understand where to create  this directory or what I need to do in the ACP with it.

Thanks for working with me on this one Artie  :mryellow:  I greatly appreciate it
