Avatares are missing after upgrade
After upgrading from v. 1.5.5 to 1.6 all the avatares(pictures of the users) are missing.
What is the easiest way to restore them?

Re: Avatares are missing after upgrade
The avatars should be in the old content directory from your previous installation. You should be able to copy them over as root, or move them as a regular user.
Sounds like a permission issues. See if something looks out of the ordinary with the content/profile_pictures directory -

Re: Avatares are missing after upgrade
Avatars are copied when upgrading. All of our systems seem to display avatars correctly after upgrading, so I suspect there is a problem specific to your server.
For some reason, probably permissions related, they did not copy on your system. You can move the directory using the "mv" command on Unix systems. Or preferrably, as the [b]root[/b] user on the system, copy using "cp" on Unix, the directory over to the new installation. The contents of the content/ directory, and the profile_pictures/ directory, should be owned by the user "nobody", or the webserver's user.
