BuddyPress.org

mydomain.com/members/admin/profile/change-avatar page source showed that my avatar image looked something like “http://mydomain.com/GD Image Library not loaded”.

The solution was to get the GD Image Library turned on.

1) open php.ini in wordpad and uncomment the line

extension=php_gd2.dll

2) copy the php_gd2.dll from the C:php5extras folder and place with the php.ini file

3) in IIS open Application Pools and right click on DefaultAppPool and select Recycle ( you don’t have to restart IIS)

Then I used the Change Avatar page and finally after weeks of tooling around my avatars are loading. Yahoo!!
