I tried to upload my avatar from my machine via Forum. It was a .jpg image 80x80 @ 4.86kb.

Error:

Code:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(./modules/Forums/images/avatars/56393950045de3feb900c5.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in <<details removed by admin>>/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 288

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpt0Wg1B' to './modules/Forums/images/avatars/56393950045de3feb900c5.jpg' in <<details removed by admin>>/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 288

I then tried to Uploaded via Entering a URL however this image was slightly bigger than stated requirements. I got this error:

Code:

Unable to upload file
DEBUG MODE

Line : 251
File : usercp_avatar.php

Sounds like a permissions issue or missing directory. Make sure the permissions are set to allow writing to the modules/Forums/images/avatars directory.

I had another go. I found out if uploading via URL and if the image is bigger than the required size of 80x80pixels thats when the error occurs:

General Error

Unable to upload file

DEBUG MODE

Line : 251
File : usercp_avatar.php

I believe thats because Raven has debug mode turned on, When its turned off (which it normally would be in a production site) you would get an error message stating that the file size was too big and a reminder of the correct maxumum size.

Ah right cool. Another solved thread in that case. Can I mark it Fixed or is that only for admins to decide?
