Re: Avatars problem

Did you change your avatar directory? Try removing the slash at the beginning of the directory path: the default PunBB folder is img/avatars, not /img/avatars

Re: Avatars problem

I have a problem with avatars too. Even if it's within the required measures, it says:


The server was unable to save the uploaded file. Please contact the forum administrator at xxxxxxxx

So if anyone is kind enough to re-explain about CHMOD 0777, and what a newbie needs to do about the forums directories for that, then I'll be so thankful.

Thanks in advance.

In other words, how do I chmod the avatars folder?
I don't think that I am the one able to change permissions for directories..or am I?

EDIT: Oh! Does that mean the change the numeric value of the fodler from 755 to 777?

EDIT2: I did that, and the permissions changed. I added the slash as advised up there, and it still doesn't work.

Last edit: Removed the slash again, and it WORKS!

Wow, thanks a million everyone.
