So, I've finally decided to upload an avatar, but ran into a few problems.
When I tried the first option to upload the avatar from my computer, I got the following error:
Warning: move_uploaded_file(./images/avatars/190943110148475d88b5b70.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/www/web453/html/forum/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 286
Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/home/www/web453/phptmp/phpF4G2QV' to './images/avatars/190943110148475d88b5b70.jpg' in /home/www/web453/html/forum/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 286
Then, the second option to upload the avatar from a url resulted in this:
Could not write avatar file to local storage. Please contact the board administrator with this message
DEBUG MODE
Line : 177
File : usercp_avatar.php
Finally, the third option to link to an off-site avatar seemed to work, until I looked at the Ranking page and saw that "/forum/images/avatars/" is being prepended to the image url, so the avatar doesn't show either.
Can't a girl get her avvie?
