Topic: "The server was unable to save the uploaded file" (avatars)

I have a problem with avatars. I cant' upload them. I'm choosing acceptable avatar from my computer, its tiny enough but again I have this error message: The server was unable to save the uploaded file.
What should I do?

In profile.php
FIND

if (!@move_uploaded_file($uploaded_file['tmp_name'], $pun_config['o_avatars_dir'].'/'.$id.'.tmp'))

Remove the @

Then try uploading again and paste the error you get

Looks like you still have to chmod it then! wink

Re: "The server was unable to save the uploaded file" (avatars)

On your server, in the place you uploaded your forum to, there's a folder called img. Within that is a folder called avatars. It's where uploaded avatars are saved. It can't be written to, apparently.
