User avatars and gravatars broken link

Hi, I have this problem: many users of my social network have lost their Avatar and Gravatar. Instead of the original image I can see a broken link icon. Besides this, If I try to upload a new image I cannot do it, It gives me back a black frame. The Avatar directory is the default one, wp-content/uploads/avatars. I can see it if I right-click on the image box, with a sub-directory for each user, I guess, named 1, 2 etc. Should I change this directory and where?

I don’t know why it did happen. First I had forum and users pages on custom directory, but some days ago those links became wrong (I don’t know why), so I turned them to the default pages from buddypress settings/pages

My configuration is
Buddypress 1.7
WP 3.5.1

and many other buddypress-related plug-ins.

Many thanks,
Gabriele

@profc first thing is upgrade to BP 1.7.1. Change to BP Default and see if issue is resolved – no black frame. Check if your preferred theme has been upgraded for BP 1.7+. Do also double-check that the plugins you’re using have been upgraded to latest BP version as well.

Avatars link are like the following:

http://www.sitename.net/wp-content/uploads/avatars/56/808d387ede62f1eade7ee8c6dbfd36cd-bpthumb.jpg

I can see the folder and the file through filezilla; I cannot save the image from web page.

Thanks,
Gabriele
