Re: Avatars…ongoing issue with this!
Hi,
Not sure if this will solve your problem but I had this problem and fixed it by defining the absolute URL for uploads in the miscellaneous settings in the dashboard.
Go into the settings and where it asks for the full path to files, type in the full url to your uploads folder.
eg. http://www.yoursitename/wp-content/uploads
Let me know if it works!
