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

However there are four ways to get an avatar:
- Upload Avatar from your machine:
This one is broken.[/*]- 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.[/*]- 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.[/*]- 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.
