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.

for controlling access and permissions see:  http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/getting-started/controlling-access/

but not sure I understand what you were just trying to do…

did you see my post #6?  lets answer those first…

Here, I also sent you a PM.  I will be away from the pc for a little while but will check back asap.  Thanks

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…

I’m also having this same problem, and I have permissions set to allow avatar uploads.

when I try to upload a new avatar this is the error message I get:

Sorry, the avatar file exceeds the maximum allowed size

Yet the avatar is 50x50px  – very small.

Any suggestions?

that size is not referring to the height and width, but the file size in bytes…  the setting is on forum – profiles – avatars… what is the file size compared to that you are trying to upload???

Attached is the image. It’s 15kb

and what were your size settings?
