    Hi,
    I have a problem with uploading avatars. After trying to upload it, I have an error message:

    “The form you submitted contained the following errors
    An error of an unknown type was encountered.”

    I’ve checked permissions for folders, paths etc.
    Using 1.6.8 with forum 2.1.2

    Any ideas?

    Are your paths for the avatar correct? In particular Server Path to Avatar Folder?

    Everything is already fine. Strange, when I used the paths to the phisycal folders on my server I could upload avatars and images. But when I was trying to access it under a domain I had problems as described. I’ve talked with my hosting servece and they told me I need to create a temp folder in the root path of my instalation. With that folder everything works fine.
