Same issue, just updated to 1.2.3 from 1.2.2.1 today and cannot upload a new avatar image since the old ones disappeared. Also had fatal errors when using the automatic upgrade. Needed to delete buddypress and do a complete fresh install.

In 1.2.2.1 needed to use the following to correct a cropping issue. Tried it on 1.2.3 and it does not help with the missing image. Not sure if this is still a problem in 1.2.3. Also using BP Album+.

To correct cropping issue:

Go to Settings -> Miscellaneous Settings

Set “Store uploads in this folder” to “wp-content/uploads”.

Set “Full URL path to files” to the REAL FULL PATH of your uploads.

Then change bp-core-avatars.php line 389:

Replace:

if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )

$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;

With:

if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )

$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;

else $path = ABSPATH . $path;

The change from @gian-ava to the bp-core-avatars.php file on line 389 corrects the problem when running a single installation of wordpress.

Thanks @gian-ava

Running WordPress 2.9.2, Buddypress 1.2.2.1 with using BP Group Documents 0.3.1 release and still having a link issue.

Example generated link for an uploaded document:

http://sitename.org/groups/actual-groupname/documents/wp-content/uploads/group-documents/2/1268852986-filename.ppt

What the correct link should be and where the file was uploaded:

http://sitename.org/wp-content/uploads/group-documents/2/1268852986-filename.ppt

The reference to groups/actual-groupname/documents between the sitename.org/ and wp-content/ is extra and causes the download link for the documents to fail.

Until this is corrected downloading a file by the link requires one to copy the link address and paste it to the browser and delete the extra information that gets included in the generated link. Not a one step function like the intention of the link to begin with. Look forward to seeing the next updated release.
