I have enabled avatar uploading and it is at the top of the list for priorities.  However when I go to edit an avatar the upload image option is not there.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

Do users have permission to upload avatars?  also on forum - integration - storage locations, please ensure your storage definitions are valid and writable...

The storage locations are writable.

 

I went to profiles - avatars - and enabled avatar uploading.  Is there something else I need to do?

you didnt answer the first part of the question... do you users have permission to upload avatars?  its not a profile setting but a permission...  so forum - permissions - manage permissions...

are you doing this as an admin or user?

I did not change the permission. I missed that, thought I just had to enable the option.  I will go set them now.

I am doing this as an admin, but honestly this is the first I am using the forum plugin and am learning as I go.

no worries...  when you say admin, do you mean wp admin or sp admin?  they are not the same thing...  sp admins get all permissions so would not need a permissions update...

if you could take a quick screenshot of your forum - profile - avatars admin panel that would help... and also a screenshot of the profile edit panel on front end where you want to upload the avatar...

Maybe I just have no idea what I am doing.  Standard access permissions are perfect for what I want.  All users are mapped to the members group. There are members there.  When I go to forums - add global permission set and select members and standard it says there are no members and it was not set.

Please note that account is a moderator account, not an sp admin... I can tell because its listed in the moderators in the stats area...

so go to forum - permissions - manage permissions...  view the permissions for the moderator usergroup...  is upload avatar enabled?

if so, lets go to forum - forums - manage groups and forums... and for a forum, click on view forum permissions... do you see Moderators => Moderator Access listed for the forum?  if not, is it listed for any forum?

did you send the credentials to both Yellow Swordfish and Mr Papa?  will try to take a look later this afternoon...
