Question Avatar not showing

Just noticed as one or two people are posting that they are getting the default image for an avatar. However, Where I should get at least that I get the broken image link :huh:

Hi
I don't think this problem is solved yet, even near to be solved. There seems to be a big problem with the avatars, either one or an other way.

In my case members can not upload own avatars. It works from the gallery, but it's impossible to add new avatars in the gallery (they will not show). I have tried all solutions from this thread, but none of them helped (even joomla configuratios media settings does not help). I have also changed permissions to 777, but nothing.

So in my case i get some messages when trying to upload avatars.
1. Copy failed (red)
2. Copy failed (red)
3. Copy failed (red

it shows 3 times really, and the next message is under them in a blue field:
Your avatar has been loaded up succesfully. When looking in kunena avatars folder there is nothing else that those noimages.

So please developers, take this seriosly, there is something wrong with the way it handles avatars. I'm using the latest version of kunena.
Thanks

arnold122: what version of Kunena are you using? If you are using K 1.5.8 or K 1.5.9, please read Avatar not display in Kunena 1.5.9 .

morfina: I don't know whether my advice to arnold122 will help you or not.

Thank you sir!
Your advice indeed solved my problem. FYI I am running K1.5.9

Nope, nothin' doing here as suggested in the quote I changed the permissions but still no joy. What I can't figure out is why the default avatars are appearing with the users but all I get is a broken image icon. :huh:

the link is not working for me eigher...

morfina: you shouldn't use CHMOD = 777 for directories; read docs.joomla.org/What_are_the_recommended...ctory_permissions%3F

I had spent about 2½ hours working on your system this morning - I wrote you a PM - you have so many extra Joomla extensions on your website that it's difficult to know where to begin. I had changed your directory permissions to 755 and I was in the process of changing the file permissions to 644 before you uninstalled Kunena. You have now changed the ownership of your files and the directory permissions and I am unable to install Kunena on your system at all, unless, perhaps, I start all over again.

I'm sorry, there are too many cooks spoiling this broth. I will have to pull out from helping you.

We have to put this context: the website is running Joomla 1.5.8 in "legacy" mode. It looks like a test site: there are only two registered users. In order to isolate the cause of these avatar-related problems, it would be preferable if the website was running a standard Joomla install, free of other extensions, before proceeding further.

morfina has informed me that he will be abandoning his work and starting again.

This discussion topic is therefore closed.
