Re: Grasping at straws now – should WPMU & BP be in same DB or different?
Your avatar problem is probably because of the file itself. What kinda file do you upload? If it’s some kinda rare file like .raw then it’s obvious it wouldn’t work. If you could, also place the specs of the image, like if it’s cmyk/rgb, how many bits, the size of the image and wether its transparent or not.
Right now Buddypress has to be in the same database as wpmu, I heard they might make it possible to put into another database later in development.
And while your at it, could you make me some coffee too? Haven’t slept for 22 hours..
