One other thing has created the bad response from server....

Tring to upload avatars using UPLOAD FROM ANOTHER SITE ALWAYS TRIGGERS AN ERROR

Raise the following PHP limits (a lot?):
PHP Max Post Size 8.00 MB
PHP Maximum Upload Size 2.00 MB
PHP Memory Limit 8.00 MB

You will need to update your PHP configuration, please contact your host about this.

Anyone know what Numbers i should change this to ?

That depends on your forum and the size of the attachments you want to use.

I just need the normal setting whats a good default to use please

PHP Max Post Size ? MB
PHP Maximum Upload Size ? MB
PHP Memory Limit ? MB

PHP Max Post Size ? MB <-- Set this 1mb bigger than max upload size

PHP Maximum Upload Size ? MB <-- How big of a file is the max you want uploaded, adjust it to what you want to be the max size of a file you want uploaded to your site, if you want to allow a file thats 500mb, then set it to 500mb, if you want no files uploaded larger than 16mb, then set it to 16mb, etc...

PHP Memory Limit MB <-- For a small forum 32mb should suffice, if you get any errors stating that you have reached your max memory limit, then raise it to 64mb , etc...

Restart httpd after you have changed the php settings, so they take effect.
