How recently did you set this up? I couldn’t upload avatars for a day or so after I installed BP. Not sure why, but you might give it a day or two, which is an irritating but easy fix.

when I try and upload avatars i get this message “Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /avatars/1. Is its parent directory writable by the server?” I created a folder and even gave permissions but same problem.

1) I’m able to register and see my newly-created profile on your website. Your users have to activate their account via email before logging in.

2) Did you setup the Buddypress forums correctly under the “Buddypress > Forums Setup” menu in the WP admin area?

3) Make sure your wp-content/uploads directory has the right permissions. Check out this article for more info:
