I understand that means adding all the hacks again.. ack! But, if my dbase is corrupted, then when I reload my dbase won't I get the same problem? Does the dbase back up also back up the templates, styles, etc?

Plus, I'm still able to upload avatars from the admin screen. The only problems are in the usercp. If the user does not have a custom avatar, it appears to work on uplpoad but instead displays the "noavatar.gif" file instead. If the user currently has a custom avatar, it returns the url error.

I upgraded to 2.2.2 and still no freaking dice :( We need some help here, folks, please. Ack!

*bump*

can you do a clean install of the board? AS A TEST BOARD? implement the hack and try it. you will se that you don't have any problems anymore.

Oh my god! I got it working and I have to say I am guilty of extreme oversight.... I did all of the above code changes in my root/index.php only and neglected to make the changes in my global.php. That was the whole stinking problem and now it's all better. God, I love the elation of figuring out a problem that has been nagging at you for a long while... Beer anyone?

YESSSSS.. i love heineken ;) congrats

Thanks for your help, Nakkid

you are more then welcome mark ;)

Hey!

Make me the third user to encounter this bug.

I did have the avatar on homepage hack installed but wasn't using it - it was messing up my table layout....

lets see if I can get things working quicker

well - after a period of complete MySQL meltdown and permissions nightmare, I am now getting this error

There has been an error in the upload. Please ensure that the file has been correctly selected and that the upload has taken place successfully.

I'm stuck now
