Same trouble here

Go to Settings -> Miscellaneous Settings


Set “Store uploads in this folder” to “wp-content/uploads”.


Set “Full URL path to files” to the REAL FULL PATH of your uploads.


Then change bp-core-avatars.php line 389:

Replace

:
if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )


$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;


With:


if ( !$path = get_option( ‘upload_path’ ) )


$path = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads’;
else
$path = ABSPATH . $path;

It fixes the problem.

Since this is a modification in one core file, you need to do that everytime you upgrade BP. Don’t foget!

Unless it gets fixed in the future.

Thank you Gian-ava, also for me the trick works!

Found this bug tracker post: Ticket #2317 (closed defect: fixed) (https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2317). It might not be fixed now. Has anyone experienced the same issue. My WP3.0 is network enabled.
