For those people experiencing issues with avatar uploads, and avatars not showing when cropping – please try r519+.

I have made some changes to upload locations and have forced all avatars to upload to the root blog upload directory.

The problems being experienced were related to internal WordPress file permissions. When a user uploads an image to their blog – that image cannot be viewed from another subdomain other than the root. For example:

An image uploaded to: http://andysblog.domain.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/myimage.jpg

http://andysblog.domain.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/myimage.jpg — WORKS

http://domain.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/myimage.jpg — WORKS

http://janesblog.domain.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/myimage.jpg — 404 DOESN’T WORK

Hopefully that makes some sense.
