Need help regarding avatars............

[Nikelz]

<--How come this avatar works on this site and it won't work on mine? Everytime I try to upload an avatar from my documents, it always gives me this: "The uploaded file is not a valid GIF or JPG file. Please ensure that it is and try again." What is going on? Try to help me out, thank you!

More info needed as in what are you using to upload the avatar with and what mode are you using to upload it?

I got this warning when trying to upload an avatar through my C Panel: "Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/rapstatus.com/httpdocs/forums/admin/avatar.php on line 39"
^^Does that help?
