Avatars not displaying

registered · Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2005 5:09 am

I seem to be having a problem getting avatars to display correctly. Even if the user selects an avatar from the gallery it doesn't display and special ranks are not displaying either. It's starting to look bad Sad

I've seen a few threads for fixes on avatars but I'm not sure which to use on my installation?

Can anyone help please?

has it always been like this or did something just start happening?

I think it's always been like this and I just started to notice because the few people who have avatars point remotely to them (so everything appears to be working) and now the forums are picking up I'm noticing all of the red X's.

What version of Nuke and BBtoNuke are you using and what patch if any does it have installed?

Oh no! - Now you are going to tell me off for not patching.

The original installation was nuke 6.5 by nuke$%^&* followed by an upgrade to 6.9 then the application of your patch for 6.9.

The forums are 2.0.5 by nuke£$%^s

I also have sentinel 2.0.0 RC 4

Although I made a lot of mods in the early days thinking it was clever I have since just overwritten everything with the 6.9 patched available here.

Not going to tell you off (for now) but.... you are a bit behind on BBtoNuke, i would seriously consider upgrading it if only to have their bug fixes applied.

Does the modules/Forums/images/avatars folder exist and are its perms correct? i tried to view an image supposedly stored in it and could not access it.

This is the error message after upload my avatar:

Code:

images/avatars need chmod 777

Yes Susann, the avatars directory inside of modules/Forums/images must be chmod to 777

Thanks,
I have chmod the directory which got missed when [plug] moved the server to Raven webhosting [endplug} Smile

I'll have a look at the bb upgrade later today.
