I got a private message from a member saying that he couldn't upload an image for his avatar. He could see that I do have an avatar, so he asked me for help. I thought I'd try loading my avatar again to see what he was talking about. Here is my reply to him:

Wow! This is very puzzling. That used to work. My image is a 100x100 pixel JPG file at about 4KB. When I first signed up on this board, I was able to upload the file with no problems or errors.

I just deleted my avatar, then tried repeating the process to load it again from my hard drive, using the Browse button.

Now I see errors too, saying:

Warning: copy(./images/avatars/1659960293412f9e1f26628.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /usr/local/www/utahconcealedcarry.com/forum/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 227

That means that I lost my avatar too. Something has happened that broke the ability to store avatars onto the UCC forum.

However there are four ways to get an avatar:

1. Upload Avatar from your machine:
   This one is broken.[/*]
2. Upload Avatar from a URL:
   I tried this one and it didn't work either, because it tries to copy the avatar to UCC, which is broken.[/*]
3. Link to off-site Avatar:
   This one worked. I've got that same avatar online at the following free image hosting site:
   
   This time it worked, so I got my avatar back. You might want to try signing up at Photobucket.com and storing your avatar there, then using this third method to get it into your profile.[/*]
4. Select Avatar from gallery:
   Forget this one. The gallery is empty.[/*]

I'm not the moderator, administrator or the owner of UCC. I'll have to try to get Thomas (who is all of the above), to look into this problem.

Thanks for letting me know. There was a problem with the permissions on the server. I have repaired the problem and it appears to be working now. Please let me know if anyone experiences any problems.

Thanks,

Yep!

I just tried it again. It's fixed. Thanks Thomas!
