Follow up after turning on error reporting I get this..
Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/www/mysite.com/modules/boonex/avatar/data/tmp/1.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/mysite.com/modules/boonex/avatar/classes/BxAvaModule.php on line 821
I have checked the filepath and there is no directory as is says to /avatar/data/tmp/ . All avatars are in avatars/images/data/. This seems like a bug in the avatar module directing to the wrong file path. I think I can fix it given the info but this seems like a rather big screw up whether it be my fault some how or what but I've never messed with the avatar module file path. Surely there is a ticket for this already I don't know about looking those up very well yet. Seems like this would be messed up since 7.1.4 unless something I've done caused this.
I dont know how to fix it based on the error.. Line 821 just says if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $sImagePath)) rather than a true path I could change.
