Woody made up a lovely portrait for me, and I would like to use a cropped image from it for my sig. However... when I try to upload it, I get an error:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(./images/avatars/ce8785943eb181801ac62.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to create stream: Permission denied in /home/virtual/site3/fst/var/www/html/phpBB2/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 227

The avatar is less than 8k & 100x100... can you help me out?
I want to show it off!

I cannot for the life of me remember where the post was, but apparently there's a problem where certain people end up not being able to upload, and a lack of support for the version of this board they are using, and reasons not to change that.

[Morniel]

the thing is, though, I >had< an avatar before... I was just going to change it to a new one.

When I try to upload one, it says that it's too big but doesn't give me any sort of error. When I try to upload the other, I get the error.

I uploaded my original one without any problem...

We've having some technical problems with avatars, and can't get any technical support, due to "security changes" that the phpbb folks did with a recent patch.

Until such time as we're ready to launch the database (we'll be doing arcane things to the message boards that *should* be pretty invisible to the end user), if you're having problems uploading your avatar, you either have to do without, or host it elsewhere. (

ahh, all right then!

I'll just keep trying now and then, hopefully they will fix it eventually.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to respond, mum!

Hope you're in the mood for seafood and spicey, my packs seem to be filled with pepper poppers, crab legs and an assortment of fish at the moment.

I had offered to get Ngreth some information on that issue (had a VERY similar one with the board my guild is on and we run phpbb too) unfortunately, I've not gotten a reply from the board admin. However there is a very useful site for phpbb (and some other board types) that might be of use: http://smartor.is-root.com/

I hope it helps.
