Receiving an error on BuddyPress.org when trying to upload avatar

Hello! With all the development going on around here, it’s difficult trying to find a place to report errors on your own website!

So, I went to my profile and tried to upload an avatar. I selected the image and clicked “upload”, then received this error message:

Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /home/buddypress/public_html/wpmu/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/6810363. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

Thanks!

Do you have access to the server to check permissions on those folders? Anything out of the norm?

It’s not an error. If you want to use an avatar on here then create a gravatar with the email you use for this site.
