Errors after upgrade. Starting with avatars

[Mindzipper]

I am at a loss for words over this debacle. i can no longer get anyone to even respond to tickets, even the one that supposedly I was getting help with. I've exhausted everything feasible on this migration...

Wups I didn't mean to delete this post.

[Mindzipper]

Very good point. Hopefully I can get it up and running. Thought you should know about the other error though. Someone that doesn't have knowledge of PHP is going to have trouble running down that error....

[Mindzipper]

Ahh..

I want to VERIFY this information before installing and finding a problem later.

[Mindzipper]
