I created that avatars directory first

Than I tried

http://demongov.com/ubbthreads/images/avatars


That folder already existed

If you're working with mywebsite.com/avatars then make sure that the avatars directory that you created is above your ubbthreads directory and not inside of it.

Ok, I think there is a bit of confusion here. For Avatars, it asks for 2 things. Avatar Upload Storage Directory and Full URL to Avatar Upload Storage Directory.

The Full URL should be: http://demongov.com/avatars

For the Avatar Upload Storage Directory, you'll need the proper path. To find out what that is, go to your DB, Paths & URLs section of the Control Panel and then click on the Paths & URLs Tab. Look at the Absolute PATH to Main Directory Setting.

Whatever that is set to, just change the ubbthreads at then end to avatars. So if it says:

/path/to/your/site/ubbthreads

Then your Avatar Upload Storage Directory is going to be:

/path/to/your/site/avatars

I just checked again

The paths are correct

It's not working

I have no idea what the problem is

Testing 'http://demongov.com/avatars'
Directory does not exist!
Test failed. Either the directory was not found or cannot be written to by the web server.

Ok, that still doesn't look right. It should be saying something like:

Testing /path/to/your/site/avatars

What you have is it's testing the URL, not the path. You might have them mixed up. On your avatars control panel page what do you have for the first 2 boxes?
