Same problem, though I get this message:
"The server was unable to save the uploaded file. Please contact the forum administrator at blah..."
I tried fiddling with the pixels and such... it's the same avatar I have for this forum...
aaah! my brain is mush.

Re: Problem with uploading avatars
Did you try to chmod the avatar directory? To be on the safe side, try 777. You can usually do that through your FTP client. In FlashFXP you select the directory and press ctrl+O, then enter 777 in the text field and press OK.

Oh God.... don't shot me, but I have no clue how to do that. It's amazing I can dress myself in the morning.
Also, I see you have a link back to Pun.org up at the top of the page, how do you get that?

By editing include/template/main.tpl
Regarding the chmodding. Do you use an FTP client to upload stuff to your website? In that case, which one?

Re: Problem with uploading avatars
Ok, try this.
1. Connect to your FTP host in Dreamweaver.
2. Press ctrl+shift+F12. An FTP log window will appear.
3. In the "FTP Command:" field enter: site chmod 777 /path/to/your/avatar/directory
If you forum is located in a directory called forum in the public_html folder, you would write:
site chmod 777 forum/img/avatars
If it is successful, a message saying "200 SITE CHMOD command successful." will appear in the log windows.
Try this. I'm off to bed now, but I'll check in tomorrow again :)
