I've tried to upload two different avatars, well within the byte size limitations and here is what I get -

Warning: Unable to create ‘./images/avatars/147810684342ff58f142253.jpg’: Permission denied in /home/warppipe/html/gb/gbforum/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 227

Any idea on what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks,

On-site avatars have been busted for a long time now…

I don't even know if Chad's ever had a chance to look into the problem…

For now you'll have to upload your avatar elsewhere on the net and then link to it.

If you upload from a URL, rather than directly from your machine, it will work. If you don't have a server to temporarily load it up to, before you upload to the message board, I'm sure someone here could temporarily host it.

Not to split hairs (or to confuse the matter) but the upload function seems to be completely dead. The only method that I know works is to “hotlink” to your avatar (unload your avatar somewhere online, link to it via the “Link to off-site Avatar” option, and then leave that file online for as long as you want your avatar working) because the board wont save a copy.

Every time this thread (the one you are reading right now) is accessed my webpage gets “a hit” (because that's where my avatar is stored).

Hmm. Well it WAS working, but you're right, it's hooped now too. Linking to an offsite image is the only way for now.

All fixed guys, sorry for the inconvenience.
