Re: You did not select a file to upload.

Hmm. Are "file_uploads" enabled in php.ini? You can check by hitting "Show info" after the PHP version number in admin/index.

Re: You did not select a file to upload.

Currently, if it is disabled, the check fails here:

        if (!isset($_FILES['req_file']))
            message($lang_profile['No file']);

IMO the best way to solve this would be a new language file entry (which probably isn't happening) tongue

Re: You did not select a file to upload.

Well, not in 1.2.* anyway. I could check if file_uploads are enabled at all before displaying the avatar bit in the profile.

Re: You did not select a file to upload.

In the index it says File uploads are ON | ON  Hmm I don't remember seeing a  tmp directory in the root I'll make one maybe that will fix it.  Well that didn't work I made the tmp dir 777 also ... bah humbug.  Love the easy forum program though just need to learn more about it I guess.

Re: You did not select a file to upload.

It's difficult to say what's wrong with your setup. What happens if you add the line dump($_FILES); right above the code Smartys pasted above?

Re: You did not select a file to upload.

Very odd. Create a new PHP script with the following contents:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

And then post the link here.
