BuddyPress.org

I’m having the same problem.

On an older (v. 1.2.5.2) BuddyPress site on it’s own WordPress (3.0.1) install I was able to upload avatars just fine.

Now, on the latest BuddyPress (v. 1.2.6) driven subdomain on a WordPress (3.0.1) network site, I’m having this upload problem. The error message specifically is:

“Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /group-avatars/1. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”

Seems like a bug in the latest version. As @BionicClick pointed out above, this very site (buddypress.org) has the same problem!
