[KeneticKangaroo]

Ok I dont know if this is the right forum to but this in but i will post it any way!

Ok on my forum, when people try 2 use a customer avatar this happens:

URL AVATAR - "The uploaded file is not a valid GIF or JPG file. Please ensure that it is and try again."

FILE UPLOAD - "The uploaded file is not a valid GIF or JPG file. Please ensure that it is and try again."

And Ive changed it from safe mode on and off, and i need avatars on, if you can help PLEASE DO SO :D

This is a bug that a lot of people have been getting. If it's a fresh install of 2.2.9 then i'd reccomend reporting it over at www.vbulletin.com

If your not running 2.2.9 i'd reccomend upgrading to see if the fix is there

I solved it my self!
I Created a folder called temp under the images folder
chmod 777 or what ever.
Went into the vbulletin options and changed the bit on avatars from /tmp to /images/temp
and it worked :D

[Dean C]

Well done... i'll have to give that tip to some other people :)

Nope, its still there... its something to do with plesk and php image uploading, so I am talkin to the server people now, I tried adding a a script to the conf folder, but I dont have access, so talkin to them now.

[KeneticKangaroo]
