Okay, I seem to have fixed avatars and maybe some signatures. Inline attachments are still fighting me. I set those permissions at 0777 recursively. I did not do recursively the first time.
I moved Avatars into the file system (they were in the database)
I move Attachments back into the database (they were in the file system)
Now, when I go back and check on permissions, they seem to be reset at the top folder level to 0755 but the contents are 0777. It could have been that way before, I did not verify.
I may move the Attachments back to the file system to see if the moving and re-writing helps out.

Testing and even now when I try and upload a new image, it does not show as an image in the upload tool. It just give me this:

Lynne, as usual, is a genius. Recreated the config.php file and that did the trick (also redid .htaccess to be sure). Pics are showing.
Seems my first "cleaning" of config.php didn't do the trick and the new server was sensitive to the issues in the file, whereas the old server was more forgiving.
Thank you Lynne!
