Until the site generates enough turnover to allow for a web developer to be employed, this won't be fixed.

The two site admin: Jasper and Babar split the site hosting bill out of their own pocket currently.

Hmmm yes, it does seem like you need to get your hands dirty with this forum software:

http://expressionengine.com/forums/viewthread/63799/

Found that after a quick google.  So that's the code that probably needs looking at.  Willing to help.

It just looks like $upload_path needs to point to a valid path, and that the path is writable by the forum software in whatever context it is run.

Thanks for looking in to it, you got the same results that I did. So thats something Smiley

Although it only broke after we changed server.

Do you happen to have any experience with expressionengine?

No, i don't.  But i look after web applications for a living, so can generally "muck in" with them...

So i guess these are the questions to be asking:

*  Are images stored on a different server
*  If so, which server changed, the storage or application server?
*  Would the path have chaged?

There are two error-checking routines being called from that code snippet, one checks that the save path is valid, and one checks that the application can actually write to that path.  If either fails you get the message we are seeing.

So it should be fairly simple.  If the save path remains valid after the move-around, then its likely an authentication issue.

looks like we have a problem with our database not accepting new avatars. i'm looking at the issue, but honestly, we need someone who knows databases in and out to help fix this problem.

i am assuming since this is a PHP forum that you are using mySQL right?  I dont know anything about mySQL, but MSSQL has a file size limit to each database file on disk.  I would have the images save to a directory where they can be referenced rather than saved/embedded in the database.
