If you wish to enable this function you should first ensure the correct path for uploadable avatars is set in <strong>Administration Control Panel -> General -> Board Configuration -> Avatar settings</strong>. By default this is <code>images/avatars/uploads</code>, but you can set it to whatever you like, just ensure the configuration setting is updated. You must also ensure this directory can be written to by the webserver. Usually this means you have to alter its permissions to allow anyone to read and write to it. Exactly how you should do this depends on your FTP client or server operating system.</p> |
