I installed my first BuddyPress plugin last night and it was giving me an error when I tried to upload images for groups or for my avatar. I just logged in here and tried to upload an avatar on buddypress.org and I get the same error message:

Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /avatars/8396456. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

I’m guessing this is a bug in the code since it’s happening at both sites? I’ve confirmed my directory is writable.

Can anyone else confirm this?

Image uploads are disabled on this site, and has nothing to do with any other BuddyPress site
