Question Profiles not saving (avatars not uploading)

(Edit: Original title.."Avatars not uploading. Seems to be a bigger issue with profiles, so title changed)

I saw past posts about this with the older version having something to do with GD1/GD2. I've tried each, as well as "None"... but nothing is happening when I try to upload. I am not using any third-party components for profiles/avatars, etc. Just Kunena.

Anyway, I don't know if there is supposed to be an "Upload" button or not. I tried a few different templates and it wasn't there. I just click the "save" button after selecting my image. But instead of uploading it looks like it "saved" by going back to the beginning. But no image is uploaded. (Was trying a 11k jpg).

Kunena 1.6
InfinityHU Dark Template RC3 (for 1.6)
Joomla 1.5.20
PHP 5.2.14

Refresh the page -- we are currently using same filename for new avatar and it seems to cause these kinds of issues when the files are locally cached into browser.

still no dice. I tried different browsers (and two computers).

the /media/kunena/avatars/users directory is empty (only has index file)

Are-you sure that the image doesn't exceed the maximum limit weight set in configuration setting ?

Hi,

I have Joomla 1.5.20 and Kunena 1.6
During installation all went well and I passed all OK.
I am having same problem and also I cannot add profile information or any of the other settings.

Please advise.

Thank you

And the directory /media/kunena/avatars/users is writable by everyone ?

Yes.
I have been playing around for quite a while and I found my solution:
I use Chrome and cannot make any profile changes, BUT when I use Opera it works fine.

Try that people, test a different browser.

Thanks for all the help.

file was only 11k. user folder is 755. I tried chrome, ie, and firefox. I'll try opera next.

Try another browser!!? I don't intend to be sarcastic, but does this mean I must place a message somewhere on my site that says: "Visitors, please note - if you join the forum and find that you can't upload your avatar, please try different browsers until you succeed."

Surely this must be a Kunena issue? I first noticed the problem about two weeks ago when I installed Kunena 1.6 RC on Joomla! 1.5.20. Tonight I installed Kunena 1.6 stable hoping the problem would be gone, but it is still there.

By the way, the avatar is not the only problem. If the front-end language and time zone are not the same as the Joomla! global settings, they cannot be changed in the user profile either, nor can the profile information such as birth date etc. In fact, the profile cannot be edited at all.

I have just discovered that I can upload an avatar when I log in as administrator. Does this mean that are other permissions that have to be set besides the ones mentioned in another post on this topic?
