OK, Looks like this is a problem caused by NextGen Gallery. Noted here:

Redirects to forum from group home (BuddyPress)

But still not fixed with NextGen Gallery V2.0.63 – 04.29.2014

I am experiencing this same problem, but oddly (and significantly, I suspect) not every group redirects to the forums.

This makes me think it is not theme related, but maybe an upgrade problem caused by a database key not flipping. Possible?

Also, I am not using the “Howdy Bar.” I am using BBPress 2.5.3

OK, Fixed this issue by re-installing WP from the backend (one click “Re-install now), and setting permissions of /avatars/ to 777. All is well. Oddly, I then dialed permissions back to 755 and everything is still fine.

Nice easy fix.

Hi, I am having this error too. Received it when trying to upload an avatar.

Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/2315/avatars/2315. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

Is the duplicate looking url an issue? (/avatars/2315/avatars/2315)

This is a root install of WP 3.7.1, sub-directory multisite, BP 1.8.1. No bp-custom.php
