Safe Mode Problem

[Neo Draconian]

Apparently, my webhost uses PHP in safe mode, so I have created the necessary temp directory CHMODed to 777, but when I try to upload a custom avatar, I get this:

Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 360288 is not allowed to access /tmp/yellowdragon.gif owned by uid 0 in /web/sites/237/neodraconian2003/www.dragonslairforums.f2s.com/vbulletin/member.php on line 924

Is it possible to correct this on my own, or should I consult my host?

...and f2s (as a free host) is known to give problems like this. I don't think you can do much against it...

I had the same pb in past and the only solution I've found was to upload the avatars by ftp and then add them to the avatars list by using the control panel.
