OJ Board

I can't submit an avatar image. There's an error:

Warning: copy(/22852789141aeecf3e1a7b.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/htdocs/board/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 247

Yes, this is an old problem and it's been discussed several times. The fact is that the current software (phpBB 2.0.8) is buggy with this amount of users and/or messages. I think the admins will replace it some time in the future, but that isn't high on their priority list. Their current attention is mainly on improving the online judge system and software.

What worked for me is to link to an external picture when entering an avatar. That seems to do the trick.
