    Hi All,

    I ran into a bug while trying to upload a new avatar:

    Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /home/buddypress/public_html/wpmu/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/6854300. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    Also, I was wondering how a member of buddypress.org can go about deleting one’s account on the site; I couldn’t find a place to do that within the profile settings.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Sorry — I should have noted that the avatar issue is on buddypress.org

    I’ll ask Andy about the avatar permissions issue. In the meantime, the site should pull in Gravatars, given that you’ve got one associated with your wordpress.org email address.

    As for account deletion, I have no idea. Your buddypress.org login/account is the same as your wordpress.org account, but I can’t find “delete my account” info on either of those sites.

    I’m fairly sure that there’s no way to delete or rename a wordpress.org account.

    Thanks, Boone — I appreciate your help. Until a solution comes, I shall wear my monocle and moustache proudly, as I don’t have a gravatar associated with the email address I used for this account.

    Also — are you sure that bp.org and wp.org share accounts? I think I had the same email address registered as one username on wp.org and another on bp.org. That’s why I created a new account here and want to delete the older bp.org account.

    Paul – Wow. To what extent has this been discussed by the community?
