All that's done. It doesn't seem to be a directory permissions based issue. It's more a problem with the software not seeming to recognize that a file upload's happened -- even though PHP's configuration is set to explicitly allow such things.

Hello, I have an smf forum (my 3rd actually) are you sure you have changed the right settings in the Admin panel for members or perhaps for individual groups? If you are the admin then test if you can upload since the admin should be able to do everything, if it not a problem for admins, then I would say it could be as I suggested above.
If you want more help let me know :)

Admin's couldn't do it, when I had the permissions turned on to allow it. At this point, I'm not too stressed about it not working. Saves me some disk space. :)
Ellie Mae:
hmmm strange. I will give it further thought.
If you offer the option to point to an external avatar eg on photobucket or imageshack then it wont be using your bandwidth:)

I doubt Fred wants users to be able to point to external files on a site that is ostensibly an extension of Jim's public image. Seems a good idea to me (much as I'd love to have my own avatar) to keep a fairly tight wrap on that sort of thing.
