This is saying that you don't have chmodded your avatars folder with permission 777.. it should work if you do that.
if i'm not totally wrong.OutlawSpirit, ranzon is most likely right. Try to change it to 777.
hmm... the permission for the folder 'avatars' is set to '777' and this still doesn't work???

do you have tried to reinstall phpBB??
i had the same problem, and downloaded + installed latest phpBB.. then it worked.it is the latest 
You can try to specify absolute path in the move_uploaded_file() instead of relative one `./images…`
Maybe there is misunderstanding between you and your system regarding the base directory which `./images…` is relative to.
You might also verify in your php.ini if safe_mode is off and if the uploaded file size is not bigger than the maximum allowed (upload_max_filesize and eventually post_max_size)

how exactly do i do this 
thanksYou may write a simple .php script:
| Code: |
<?php
phpinfo();
?> |
put it on your server and load it in the browser. It will revive all your settings.
Search for `safe_mode` and `upload_max_filesize` in the page displayed.
If you need to modify your settings you might search for `php.ini` to find its location.
Regarding the absolute path, locate the folder where your `images` folder is located and replace initial `.` with its path. safe mode: off - off
upload_max_filesize: 5m - 5m
could this be any problem???
i found my images folder... where do i find the initial `.` to edit tho??????????
So far, so good.

I don't know who wrote your .php code, but my suggestion was to replace the `./images...` in the above statement with absolute path i.e. `/path_to_folder_containing_images/images...`
Upload file size could be a problem if someone tries to upload bigger files. hmm i sort of understand... how do i edit this code to change the absolute path?
