Can't Upload Avatar

[Stormraven]

When I go to upload an avatar from my computer I get this error, I took a screenshot of it to show you:

Then it redirects to the page where I press save and then after pressing save, I get this message:

Please can someone help, is this a bug? Or is this just something that's on my forum only?

check customavatars folder permissions
make them 777

[Stormraven]

done, but I still get this error, the CHMOD permissions on customavatars folder is '755'. But I'm still getting this error.

Try disabling your modifications by placing this UNDER <?php in your includes/config.php file

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


Do you still get the error?

[Stormraven]

Done, it can't be any mods then. I'm still getting the same error after trying after adding the above into the config.php file:

CHMOD to '777' if "755" is not working .. i got the same problem .. just chmod to "777"

An open_basedir error has to do with your server's configuration settings. You need to contact your host with the issue.
